How do I clean my awning?
We suggest a solution of one cup of bleach and a quarter cup of Dawn dish soap per gallon of water; spray the awning with this solution and let it sit for up to 15 minutes.
Clean the fabric with a soft bristle brush. Rinse thoroughly until all soap residue is removed, and let it air dry. This process can be repeated until your awnings are clean.

Can awnings be repaired if damaged or worn out?
Yes — awnings can usually be repaired if they’re damaged or worn out, depending on the type and extent of the problem. Here’s how it typically breaks down:
đź§µ Fabric Repairs
Small tears, holes, or fraying can often be patched or stitched.
Fading or mildew might be treated or cleaned, though extreme fading might mean replacement is better.
We offer replacement fabric covers for existing frames.
🛠️ Frame and Mechanism Repairs
Bent or broken arms, brackets, or hardware can often be repaired or replaced.
Retractable awnings with mechanical or motor issues may need part replacements or motor servicing.
đź’ˇ What Affects Repairability
Age of the awning — older models may be harder to repair if parts aren’t available.
Severity of damage — major frame damage or extensive fabric degradation might mean full replacement is more cost-effective.
Material type — high-quality fabrics and frames are often easier to fix.
đź§© Professional Evaluation Recommended
A professional installer can assess whether a repair is possible, what it will cost, and whether replacement makes more sense in the long run.
