Cleaning and care

Fabric

Awning fabric is a high quality product mostly made
from acrylic or polyester fi bres (according to the de-
clared properties). It will maintain its quality for years,
if a few requirements are observed.
The local environment has a huge impact on the clean-
ing frequency. Dry environments require less clean-
ing than humid ones. The fabric can be cleaned as
required, but a general cleaning should be carried out
every two to three years and at warm and dry weather
conditions:
FABRIC INFORMATION
Due to its functional requirements and production
methods, awning fabric has specifi c characteristics
that do not eff ect the quality of the fabric or reduce its
suitability for use.
•
Creasing occurs during confection and folding of
fabric. Creased areas may look darker, espe-cially
on light colours.
•
Chalk eff ects, visible as light stripes, can occur dur-
ing production.

Frame

The frame is made of powder coated steel and/or
aluminium components. The rest of the hardware
is made of corrosion-resistant materials. Over time,
dust and dirt will collect on the frame and will require
periodic cleaning. Use a water/detergent mixture and
a soft clean cloth to clean the frame compo-nents.
In most situations it should not be necessary to lubri-
cate the moving components of the awning. However,
1. Extract the awning completely.
2. Brush off loose dirt and debris.
3. Wet the fabric with a garden hose.
4. Mix mild soap with lukewarm water.
5. Clean the fabric with a soft brush from both sides.
6. Let the soap water soak in for ten minutes.
7. Thoroughly rinse the fabric with a garden hose.
8. Let the fabric air dry, do not apply heat.
9. Retract the awning.
•
Ripples in the seam and border can be formed by
multiple layers of fabric, while it is rolled up on the
roller tube.
•
Rain resistance for a light and short rain is given
for impregnated, water repellent fabrics if the pitch
angle of the awning is 14° or more. In stronger or
prolonged rain, the awning must be re-tracted in
order to avoid damage. Wet retracted awnings
should be extracted as soon as possible in order to
dry thoroughly.
when squeaking occurs, the use of a silicone spray
lubricant is recommended. Attach a straw to the spray
nozzle of the silicone spray and lubricate the pivot
between the end of the roller tube and the end brack-
ets on both sides. Take care not to overspray on the
awning fabric.
Important: Do not use any petroleum based spray
lubricant.
