Okay I'm new to this camping deal but just purchased a work and play and 1week later hauled it to South Dakota without any problems.On the return leg back to South Carolina we stopped in Kentucky for a break. The awning was out for a few hours and then the rain came. I closed the awning and no problems I started washing the new beast today and extended the awning to find none other than stains from the Kentucky leaves. How can I clean the underside (white) visible side to remove these stains. All help is greatly appreciated.

You put your awning out when you took a break? Haven't seen that yet. If the underside is white, how about a bleach solution?

Mr.Clean Magic Erasers work like a wonder. Takes off all the mildew and any spots,stains -then just hose off after.

If you roll the awning out all the way there should be a sticker on one end somewhere. It will tell you what to use and not use. Lots of ideas floating around but not all awnings are made from the same materials. FWIW my last awning said NO BLEACH on the tag. I would grab your owners manual or packet of info you got with the trailer and read thru it. Somewhere in there will be your awning manual with the right info.

Spray Nine, soft brush and rinse.

I also use them on those hard to do stains... just do not rub too hard as you may rub through the top layer of the awning... DON'T ask me how I know this !! :S
