It is important to try and keep your awning clean, as over time bird mess, mud and tree sap can all leave unsightly stains. There are several "dos and don'ts" you should take into account.

• DO wait until the awning is dry before cleaning - usually you can simply brush off dirt, especially mud.
• DO only use clean, luke warm water if the marks prove to be more stubborn.
• NEVER use detergents such as washing up liquid, this will damage the proofing - your awning will leak!
• NEVER put any sections of the awning through a washing machine.
• NEVER clean your awning with a high pressure hose.
• NEVER use any sterilising products like Milton.

If the marks cannot be removed easily you may find that you have to use a specialist awning cleaning product, such as Granger's Tent Clean or RV Awning Cleaner. The former is usually available from our accessory shops. It is wise to try these products on a small area first in case there is any reaction with the canvas.
