Cleaning awning on our B

Question

The Fiamma fabric- type awning on our Pleasure-way Plateau TS looks awful after some 5 weeks of Alberta countryside bugs,dust,dirt,all presumably made worse by moisture although fabric is supposedly non-mildew etc resistant. Is best cleaning method the following:
spray outside and inside with a mixture of detergent & bleach, roll up and leave it closed for 24hrs. Then, unroll it and rinse thoroughly. I dont want to have to climb on a ladder and try to scrub it that way. Cannot lower the awning when out to reach topside without a ladder. Your practical ideas appreciated. Thanks

Basically, that's what I do, except there is no need to leave it for 24 hours...10 min. to 30 min. will do the trick.

Yep........Spray it, roll it up, have a cold beverage or two, unroll, rinse and let dry

Thanks very much for your replies. I was camping all last week by the Englishman River in Parksville and having to look at that grimy awning. I might use some Black Streak stuff that people here use for removing those awful grey/black streaks from their rubber vehicle roofs. I like the idea of the "cold beverage"!!
