Pete and i have been working in Yeppoon for the last four months and its time to get back on the road. In the time we have been sitting here the awning has become quite dirty from the trees, birds and salt/dust in the air,
other than the normal soap and water what else will work to get the more stubborn marks off.
If its mildew a cupful of vinegar in a bucket of water (with a drop of detergent) works well. Rinse off. You cant use bleach on the awning unfortunately.
In a word Napisan, mix a capfull well in a bucket of warm/hot water with a squirt of morning fresh, I use a kitchen mop, the sponge type or the micro fibre one, coat liberally with the suds then wash off with clean water.
Allow to dry thoroughly before rolling up.
I used to do it with a small hand sponge but the mop idea is much quicker and easier on the shoulders. Been using this method for 3 years now and still as good as new.
There is an awning cleaning product that you can buy from any caravan accessories shop I don't remember the name and I have run out but it works very well. After cleaning my awning I give it a liberal spray with armoral and roll it up this helps to protect it and also stops mould forming whilst not in use.
Next time I roll it out I give the awning a wipe over using piece of towling on the end of a broom.
