Awning question?

Thanks. What ratio is your mixture

We used the Dawn dish soap and white vinegar mixture. Worked like a charm! (and not as toxic in my opinion than the bleach.)

Dawn, bleach and water mixed well. Put in heavy duty sprayer and squirt away. Roll up the awning for about an hour, then unroll and rinse well with hose. Do not let the stuff roll down the side of your trailer - it WILL take off wax and shine.

I will roll ours up, then spray the sides down well, then after I unroll the awning, I'll spray it down again to get any residue off.

It's probably the same Camco brand bob213 linked. Every camping supply store carries it but it doesn't seem to work very well.

I use a squirt of Dawn dish soap and a couple of chugs of bleach with about 3 gallons of water and brush on with a sponge mop or wash brush and wait about 2 minutes and rinse. Another method is just buy some bathroom mold mildew shower cleaner and spray on and wait a few minutes and rinse.

It's caused by either rolling up the awning when it's still wet or water intrusion from rain while on the road or hose when washing the RV. It's difficult to prevent but usually easy to scrub/wash off.

You can try something like this:
cleaner
I use L.A. Totally Awesome from the Dollar Store, Dollar Tree or 99cent only store. Walmart has it occasionally. I make a diluted solution and a brush or stiff broom and then rinse. Let awning dry well before you roll it up.
