Why hire a awning pressure washing service?

Maintaining your home or businesses awnings properly goes a long way in keeping them in good condition for as long as possible. But cleaning awnings the wrong way can actually cause more damage over time. 

When should you clean your awnings?
Regularly cleaning your awnings will help extend their lifespan and keep them in good condition. As a general rule, you should clean them every 3 to 6 months.

After bad weather can also be a good time to wash your awnings. Heavy rain, snow, or wind can accumulate dirt and debris on the fabric. Cleaning them after these events will help remove any buildup and prevent staining.

If you notice mold, mildew, or dirt accumulation on your awnings, that's also a sign it's time to clean them. If left untreated, these issues can cause permanent damage to the awning material over time.

Can you clean awnings yourself? 
Yes, you can clean awnings yourself using DIY methods. Here are the main ways to clean awnings as a DIY project:

Basic Hose Wash
This is the simplest way to clean your awnings. Spray down the entire awning with a gentle stream of water from the garden hose. Add a little dish soap or laundry detergent to the water. Use a soft bristle brush or sponge to scrub any dirty or stained areas. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Vinegar Solution
Cleaning canvas awnings vinegar is effective for removing light surface dirt and stains. Mix equal parts water and distilled white vinegar in a spray bottle. Spritz the entire awning and let sit for 10-15 minutes. Scrub with a soft brush to lift any remaining dirt or stains. Rinse well with water and let dry completely.​

Mold and Mildew Removal
For heavy mold or mildew, use this targeted cleaning method. Apply straight hydrogen peroxide or vinegar directly to the affected areas. Let sit for 30 minutes, then scrub with a bristle brush. Rinse thoroughly and let the awning dry completely in direct sunlight if possible.

When should you consider professional awning cleaning?
Here are some reasons why Elkhart Pressure Washing recommends considering professional awning cleaning:

Severe Staining or MildewI
f your awnings have deep-rooted stains, heavy mildew growth, or damage from pests, these issues may be beyond what DIY cleaning can resolve. The specialized chemicals, high-pressure equipment, and experience of pros are needed to tackle severe stains and remove embedded mold spores.


Large or Complex Awnings
DIY cleaning can be time-consuming and difficult to rinse every surface thoroughly for extra-large awnings that cover your entire patio or commercial awnings. Professional canvas awning cleaning services have the equipment and multi-person teams to clean even the largest awnings efficiently.

Hard-to-Reach Locations
Awnings above multiple stories or on difficult-to-access parts of your property can be tricky for homeowners to clean themselves properly. Pro awning cleaners have ladders, lift vehicles, and other tools to safely tackle high or hard-to-reach awnings.

Damaged Canvas or Frames
If your awning frames show rust, broken joints or other damage, or the canvas itself is ripped or torn, professional evaluation and repair may be needed. Cleaners can often perform minor repairs during the maintenance process or recommend an awning installer for more serious issues.

As Elkhart Pressure Washing sees it, while DIY projects have their place, some awning cleaning jobs call for the expertise of a pro. If any of the conditions above apply to your awnings, consider getting multiple estimates from reputable awning cleaning companies to determine the best option. Proper maintenance now can help extend your investment's life for many years.
