What Do You Use to Clean Canvas Awnings?

After having a canvas awning installed on your home, it will become abundantly clear that it will need to be cleaned from time to time. After all, it is much easier to clean it frequently than have to deal with the meticulous process of cleaning mildew buildup after the awning succumbs to the elements. To put it simply, the cleaning process of a canvas awning involves taking the canvas off of the frame, scrubbing it down with a cleaning solution of water, bleach, and soap, hosing off the awning, and then making sure it is completely dry before hanging it up again. However, if your canvas has already begun to grow mold or mildew, you would follow the same steps but would need to add a few additional steps such as soaking the awning in cleaning solution, scrubbing with a brush, and re-treating the awning repeatedly until the mildew is gone. While this cleaning process will work to remove mildew and keep your awning clean, it just sounds like a lot of work.
