Cloth awning/best way to clean

I have a 2015 Winnebago with a red cloth awning. I would like options on the best product to clean the awning.
Thanks Larry

That is woven acrylic fabric. The basic process is to soak well with a soapy solution, brushing it around to loosen dirt from the weave. Roll up the awning for 20-30 minutes to soak, then unroll and rinse. Try a mild detergent at first, but if it needs more cleaning action, OxyClean seems to help.


Fabrics may need re-wateproofing after a few washes or years of use.

Sunbrella (acryluc fabric mfg) website lists detailed care recommrndations.
They recommend mild soap solution... ivory or woolite. You can add bleach for badly soiled fabric w/o damage. Soaking by rolling up helps and s gentle brushing helps.
Rinse several times and more than you think is enough.
Let dry. Sunbrella recommends Retreat w 303 Fabric Guard. Spray light coats in full hot sun. 2 light coats in 90* direction better than one heavy coat.
