Difficult Awning Cleaning made easy

awning before_after_F13.jpg
I had been trying to find the right chemical for this job for sometime. The fabric is a 3M product and after many years of not getting the proper cleaning and sealing would just laugh at the recommended cleaners.
I tried Winsol and ARS products and a few others in test spots and it would not even begin to remove but only the surface dirt

Tried diluted mix of F13 a little dwell time and light scrub and at least 3 years of grime etc gone. I used a little more concentrated solution on sspots where hood cleaners had left there "calling card" and it removed 95%.
The owner came through just as I completed the test spot and could not believe the difference: said do all the stores!
I wanted to thank Bob at Pressure Tek for his advise.

Please tell the ratio. I actually have some green awnings to do this week and have some F13 on hand but have not called Bob about it yet. They are Canvas and are a dark green so I was going to use the ARS general cleaner on it. What kind of ratio worked for you and did you have anything else in the mix like bleach? Thanks.

Call Bob at PT. He has way more experience and would be better to advise you on that type of awning. Each fabric would need different care.
