Awning Maintenance and Cleaning. Would you like some of our ideas for cleaning and maintenance?
One of the best ways to protect yourself from sunlight is by installing awnings. In Denia, we’ve been dedicated to this work for years, so we’ve seen all kinds of situations. Their use is recommended for outdoor terraces and to protect interior spaces from the heat. Sunlight can also fade furniture. However, minimal care is necessary to avoid damage, breakage, etc.
In this brief article, we’ll provide some basic guidelines so you can check if your awning is in perfect condition and detect when there’s a risk. You should check your awning twice a year, both at the beginning and end of summer, which is the season in which it’s used the most. The fabric should be visually inspected to ensure it’s free of rips, burns, or tears. The purpose of an awning is to protect from the sun, not from rain, snow, or other weather conditions. Subjecting it to this type of work carries a risk due to the weight it’s supposed to support. There are awnings adapted to different wind strengths. If you live in a windy area, you should take this into account when purchasing. However, when the wind is very strong, it’s advisable to remove it. Always trust professionals for awning installation. In Denia, you know you can count on our team. At MK Toldos, we offer a wide variety of options at very affordable prices.
After properly installing your awnings, it’s important to know how to properly care for them. Take the time and effort to clean them so they retain their properties for many years to come. Professional awning installers know the best tips for cleaning their surfaces and various mechanisms. Therefore, we want to give you the best way to do it here:
- The hardest part is reaching the upper areas of the awning. To do this, you need a secure ladder that rests firmly on the ground. It’s also advisable to have someone help you hold the structure, ensuring it doesn’t move. If this is too dangerous, it’s best to use a long-handled brush.
- Awnings generally have a waterproofing treatment on their surface, so you should avoid any abrasive substances when cleaning them. Our team of professionals will tell you how to do this and what products to use. This way, you’ll achieve a longer lifespan.
- For cleaning, choose a soft-bristled brush and use mild soap and water. Once the entire surface has been brushed with the soap solution, rinse with clean water.
- It’s recommended to clean the awning with a damp cloth if it has sand or leaves blowing in, to prevent dust and other particles from penetrating the fabric and making them much more difficult to remove. Make sure the awning is dry before rolling it up to prevent mold from forming due to moisture.
- For more consistent stains, ask our team of professionals and never use it yourself, as it could damage the awning fabric and make the problem irreparable.
- It is always advisable to hire a company specializing in awnings and pergolas for installation.
