Brown Spots on RV Awning ($2.97 SOLUTION)

[wildsportsmen]

I have a 2008 Sportsmen 5VR and I rolled out my awning and it had these STUBBORN Brown Spots (almost looked like blood stains that were deep in Awning fabric) all over my Awning. :M I tried Bleach, Vinegar, Goo GONE, Mineral Spirits, Awesome, Tilex, Oxyclean, you name it I tried it.....NOTHING WORKED!

Last night I went to Wally World and bought a $2.97 spray bottle of PURPLE POWER Industrial Strength Cleaner/Degreaser.....and SHAZAAAM! Brown Spots were GONE!

This is what I did: I wet the top/bottom of Awning, I sprayed the whole bottle on the top/bottom of Awning, I rolled up the Awning over night so that the Purple Power can soak, I rolled out Awning this morning and 95% of the Brown Spots were GONE! I am ONE HAPPY CAMPER! 🙂 I will probably soak my Awning 1X more time before the winter!

I hope this helps YOU! GOOD LUCK!

No problem, just coat it with ZEP high gloss floor polish. (Which also comes in a purple container)

I'd be careful about putting Purple Power anywhere on my coach.
I cleaned my Cabela's outside smoker which has a green enameled paint on it and it dulled the heck out of the paint. It actually ate the gloss off of it. I definitely wouldn't want that stuff running down the sidewalls of my coach. It will also dull the finish on polished aluminum.

2oldman,

You must have way TOO much time on your hands! LOL! Sell THIS!

[wildsportsmen]

All,

Yes this is a Degreaser! Forgot to mention, that I did dilute the Purple Power 6:1 H20. I sprayed it on the Awning Fabric....not my Fifth Wheel Paint job.

I just posted a link to Wal-Mart.....with all the Reviews/Specs about this product. This product is used for several household chores......let me know if you have additional questions.

I guess today must be selling day.

You don't want to get Purple Power on paint it can damage a paint surface. It's used largely as a engine degreaser!

Walmart and Sams didn't have it. Oh well. I know rv.net is the happening place but I seriously doubt that he moved the market with this post. 🙂
