Awning Cleaning

[Aplus]

Lots of nasty mold growing on these fabric awnings. It was thicker and tougher than I hoped it would be. I had to do some hand scrubbing to get the desired results.

Bleach did most of the work, but there was still crud left behind that the brush handled.

WOW! Looks great Tony!

The tops of the awnings were pretty much faded from the sun, but the customer was happy that all the mold was gone. There were spots that had to be over an 1/8" thick! And the white piping showed up a lot nicer once cleaned.

Does anyone have thoughts as to whether a cloth awning like this could be recolored, so it doesn't look so faded?

If it had been vinyl, I would have applied armor all, or something similar, to make it shine, but I didn't think that would be a good idea on the cloth.

Tony,
As far as the recoloring, you may want to look into a carpet store, as they dye carpet and the process would probably be very similar.

Take a look at www.doitrightinc.com for coloring awning. I used some of there cleaners and they worked fine. I have also used gutter zap. it works good also but be carefule not to use it to strong.

Hi, just seen "Aplus" images above. I can't see any awnings at all? Did you upload the wrong pictures?
