Rollaway Awnings Care and Maintenance

In windy conditions please be very cautious whilst lowering the awning as the wind will put pressure on the awning retention system and may even stop the awning from going down. If this situation occurs you will need to help your awning down by pushing against the mesh in the middle of the awning to relieve pressure off the sides.

No other objects should be attached to, or hung from the awning as damage may occur
The powder coated metal components and profiles of your awning should be cleaned twice annually or more regularly in coastal environments. Wash in tepid mild soapy water (preferably biodegradable) and rinse off. Build-up of dirt and salt on these surfaces reduces the life of the powder coating.
Lubricate moving components and side tracks annually with inox or Revive it R44 and apply sparingly. Avoid getting it on the fabric of the awning as it may stain.
Roll up only when clean and dry (if rolled up wet, when possible, the awning should be extended and allowed to dry in the sun at the first opportunity).
To remove dirt from the fabric, brush dry fabric with a soft brush (an occasional hosing may remove dust and some ingrained dirt).
Prepare a mild soap solution and use a soft bristle brush to clean, rinse thoroughly until all detergent liquid is washed off.
Immediately remove deposits of organic matter (such as soil, grass cuttings, leaf litter, bird droppings, vehicle exhaust), some leaf species can cause stains if wet, remove leaves before rolling up awning.
Remove any mildew, as it appears, by first brushing, treating with diluted chlorine bleach (typically 1part White King to 20 parts water to achieve 1% available chlorine) then hose off immediately to remove any residue and allow to dry thoroughly in full sun,. Do not use strong bleaches such as pool chlorine.
Do not use solvents or other liquid cleansers on the fabric.
