Cleaning your
EasyAwn
|
One of
the best ways to keep your EasyAwn™ fabric looking good and
to delay the need for deep or vigorous cleanings is to hose
the fabric off on a monthly basis with clear water. This
practice will help prevent dirt from becoming embedded in the
fabric and eliminate the need for more frequent vigorous
cleanings. In most environments, a thorough cleaning
will be needed every two to three years. When it's time
for a thorough cleaning, the EasyAwn™ fabric can be cleaned
on the awning frame or easily removed for cleaning in your
washing machine.
If you are cleaning your
EasyAwn™ on the frame follow these simple steps:
- Brush off loose dirt.
- Hose down.
- Prepare a cleaning mixture
of water and
mild, natural soap (no detergents).
- Use a soft bristle brush to
clean.
- Allow soap to soak in.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Air dry.
If stubborn stains persist,
you can use a diluted chlorine bleach/soap
mixture for spot cleaning of mildew, roof run-off and other
similar stains.
- Prepare a special cleaning
mixture:
- Two ounces
(one-fourth cup) of chlorine bleach.
- Two ounces
(one-fourth cup) of natural soap.
- One gallon of water.
- Clean with soft bristle
brush.
- Allow mixture to soak for up
to 20 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Air dry.
- Repeat if necessary.
When cleaning your EasyAwn™
fabric, observe the following:
- Always use a natural soap.
Never detergent.
- Water should be cold to
lukewarm. Never more than 100 degrees.
- Air dry only. Never
apply heat to EasyAwn™ fabrics.
If you are removing the cover
and using a washing machine, these steps should be followed:
- Use only natural soaps.
No detergent.
- Wash and rinse in cold
water.
- Air dry. Never put
EasyAwn™ fabrics in your dryer.
After a thorough cleaning,
EasyAwn™ fabrics should be treated to re-establish water
repellency. Your EasyAwn™ fabric is treated with
fluorocarbon-based water repellency chemicals during
manufacturing, and it is recommended that a retreatment with
ScotchGard® or similar product is done following
cleaning.
