Awnings protect our homes and businesses and provide us with great comfort when it is sunny. In addition, in the market we can find a large number of proposals that will be adapted to what we need, being able to be personalized. When the summer is over they are used less and less and it is the moment in which to protect your awning is something that you should consider.
At Toldos Guardamar we want to help you so that your awning has a much longer operating life and is properly protected during all that time in which it is not going to be used.
The awning must be cleaned even when it is not going to be used. With the passage of time, dust and dirt can accumulate and must be removed. For this we can use a vacuum cleaner and if there are areas that have embedded dirt, with warm water and neutral soap can be removed without problem.
Within this first advice is important to eliminate all the moisture that may have the awning, this way you can prevent it from proliferating mold and can degrade the fabric with which it is manufactured.
Another tip is that if you have cleaned it and used soap and water, you should collect the awning when it is completely dry. An advantage that the awnings that are installed in the house have, is that they can be removed and stored inside the home until the next holiday season.
Finally, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on maintenance of the awning. It is very normal that the awning has a user manual. For that reason you have to follow your recommendations to the letter and keep in mind that not all awnings are cleaned in the same way.
