I've tried all the home remedies and none of them work on all what gets stuck to an RV awning. And btw, Those magic erasers are 'very' abrasive I wouldn't use it on the awning.

Bottom line I found that the Camco RV Awning Cleaner 'formulated' to clean an RV Awning and all the stuff that makes an RV dirty and is the only one that really works.

One spray bottle, No fuss, no muss and the awning looks like brand new when you're done.

In another post, you recommended Mold Armor from Lowe's. I used this yesterday and it works great!..

If I can remember correctly I think I suggested that product for a forum member who had parked his RV and his 'roof' and top of awning was covered in black/green mold.

Mold Armor Blocker is a very harsh chemical and you really should not use it regularly. And you shouldn't have to because it actually prevents mold.

And do NOT use it on the side surfaces of an RV.

Camco Awning Cleaner won't hurt the awning. So you can use it often. The "newer" RV awnings have a very thin plastic type of awning material. You need to be careful with it.

I used diluted bleach in a spray bottle last summer. I sprayed both sides of the awning, rolled it up and then rinsed after an hour or so. It was quick, easy and worked great. Just be careful not to drip bleach on yourself.

50/50 water and bleach with dawn added to make it stick . Been doing it for years

I use Spray Nine. Just give the mildew stains a good spray, let it sit a couple of minutes, then I take my long handled wash brush and wash the entire awning with soap and water. Rinse it off, and let it dry before rolling it back up. Has worked A1 for through many years and many trailers......and its cheap too!
