Hi Guys have popped over from the PW side,

One of my customers has asked me if i can give there sun awning a clean! It is fabric with coloured stripes and has dirt and mould around the edges!!

Does anyone know the best way to clean these?

Regards
Alan

Most are polyester and you can machine wash them, or take to a launderette, I cleaned one 1 week ago, and cleaned superb in a commercial washing machine with Areil Actilift

Cheers for the reply! But this one is not removable so i can't put it in a washing machine!! Any more ideas?

jet wash it

Jet wash??? be careful most of these awnings are self supporting high pressure may break it, I would do it the old fashioned way apply your chosen cleaning and anti mould cleaner scrub and rinse tell customer it may not be like new.

Karen, maybe i should have explained the jetwash way.  As you have said, apply anti mould type cleaner then rinse of using a jet wash.  You dont need to go like mad with the jet wash just hold the lance about 2 or 3 feet from the material with the pressure between 800 - 1200psi.

Am a little surprised by the question, Alan - especially as you come from the PW side.

Been doing what Richie mentions above  for the last ten years without problem & good results.  Mainly for retail outlets but also on domestics.   Just check the quality & thickness of material and adjust psi accordingly
