When winter comes, you have to think about protecting the awning and leaving it ready for the next time it is used again, which will probably be at the end of spring, when the sun returns again and the temperatures begin to rise.
From Toldos Guardamar we think about everything and we want your awning to be safe in winter and for that reason we are going to share with you some tips that will be of great help. For example, before removing the awning, make sure it is completely dry. If it is moist and stored, it can favor the proliferation of mold. It is best to wait until it dries completely.
If the awning is dry but too dirty, the best thing to do is clean it thoroughly. It can be done with a pressure gun, but regulating a minimum pressure. If you do not have a tool like these, you should use a neutral soap and a brush, rinse it well and dry it correctly before storing it.
There will be times in the winter, especially in the warmer areas, that you can enjoy the sun, so you can also use the awning these days, but taking special care not to get wet with the rain.
In case the wind and rain go in the direction where the awning is rolled, one of the best options that can be taken into account is to disassemble the part where the fabric is and store it inside the house or business. In this case, it is recommended that a professional do it, especially if you do not have much idea of how it could be done.
As you can see, these are very simple tips, but sometimes, we think that things are more complex and we forget aspects like these.
