Awning cleaning

[Spinador]

Any recommendations for a good product for awning cleaning and tips for cleaning it? Thank you!

 

[Mr Plodd]

Plenty of hot soapy water, a soft bristle brush (the ones on a pole you can plug a hose onto are ideal) a bit of elbow grease, followed by a good rinse (of the awning not you) with a hosepipe, and leave it to air dry.
Job done.

Thank you! Would you recommend reproofing it afterwards or isn't it necessary?

Do you re-proof it after it's rained??? No? Well there's your answer.

It will onky need re-proofing if it starts letting water through tge fabric, modern treatments seem to last exceedingly well.

Surely it will need reproofing especially the area "scrubbed" with soapy water

Not necessarily.

All new awnings come with a warning that they will leak until exposed to weather, rain. This causes the fabric fibres to expand making them water tight.
