Smelly Awning

Put my awning out for the first time last night and it has a kind of sour smell to it from the moisture in it all winter. Is there a certain cleaner that any of you use that will get rid of this smell?
  • I spray mine to get it wet, spray tilex on it and roll it up and leave it for an hour, unroll it and its shiny white like new, no scrubbing needed, just rinse it off.

    Tilex Mold & Mildew is just the stuff. One spray bottle will do my 14Ft. If it's really bad, i use two bottles.

    Easiest cleaning possible with the least amount of work.
  • I tried the water/ bleach solution with the pump sprayer and rolled up for a couple of hours. Unrolled and then washed down with soap and water solution and brush. Came out great. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I think any of them would work great... I also ruined a new shirt from the bleach that the wife wasn't happy about. To much camping on the mind!!
