CLEANING & CARING
NORMAL WEAR & TEAR:
Certain regions of the country are extremely hard on awnings of any kind. If you live in these
areas, (High maintenance areas: FL, TX, NM, AZ, NV or high altitude areas) you probably
already know how the sun can take a toll. Normal wear and tear is not covered in our warranty
and should be expected. Damages caused by improper anchoring, strong winds, snow or ice
are not considered defects. We offer replacement fabric at affordable prices.
CLEANING & CARING:
Awnings should be cleaned at least once a year in low maintenance areas or twice a year in
high maintenance areas (see high maintenance areas above). Cleaning consist of brushing off
debris with broom, brushing on a non-detergent cleaning compound (such as 1/2 Vinegar, 1/2
water), letting it sit for 20 minutes and rinsing Remember that your awning is an exterior
product, You’ll need to clean your awning to preserve and extend its beauty and life. Please
refer to the cleaning and care chart below if you acquire a stain from one of the ingredients on
the list.
