Awning care

I consider my awning to be a work of art - leaf stains and mold are artistic embellishments.

That is my story and I am sticking to it.

The most annoying thing with our awning is rain always seeps into the ends when it is rolled up. It settles to the bottom of each layer and leaves a band of dirt as each layer unrolls.

We try to clean it once a year but it really does not last.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Make wet, wipe (do not scrub), wipe again with a dry cloth. Comes right off. If needed, wipe the Mr. Clean a second time. Resist temptation to scrub. Works wonderful. So small areas at a time, start in one corner and work you way across. You'll not have mold for a long-long time again. Been using Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for over 10 years now. Use it twice a season. That's all.

The best thing I found to clean a dirty, moldy, mildew, stained RV awning is 'Awning Cleaner' ! :B

Really I tried all the home made so called tricks and what WORKS is RV Awning Cleaner pure and simple. They know what stains RV awnings and formulated a cleaner for it. And more importantly they formulated a cleaner that won't harm RV awning material.

Camco Awning Cleaner

Get a spray bottle of Tilex or other cleaner that contains bleach or make up your own - cup of bleach per gallon. Spray the top of the awning with the mixture then roll up the awning which will coat both sides of the awning. Let it sit for a while, then unroll rinse and let dry. IF you have stubborn spot, spray and wipe them directly.

Tilex will fight the mold! Spray it on the awning let it sit a bit, then wash as normal.

Usually a soft brush and dish soap is all I use
