How to Clean Awnings and Outdoor Blinds
Enjoy your alfresco space more, no matter its size, by keeping these features well-maintained
Regular maintenance of your awnings and outdoor blinds is important to remove dirt and grease residue, and to keep the appearance of the fabric and paint spotless. Retractable outdoor blinds brand Renson shares its special maintenance tips for efficient cleaning:
1. In the case of a bladed roof, first open the blades to remove leaves and/or loose dirt using a soft brush or a garden hose. Also remove any leaves or debris from the gutter.
2. Clean the aluminium parts with soap, diluted in lukewarm water. Choose a soap with strong cleaning and degreasing properties. This will help you to remove dust, precipitation residue, grease, algae and traces of insects. Soap the profiles thoroughly with a micro fibre cloth or soft sponge and allow to soak for a while. Do remember to clean the covering and sliding panels as well.
3. Rinse everything well with clean cold water and then dry the covering with a lint-free cloth.
4. Once the covering is dry, wipe down the aluminium parts with a dry cloth. For a longer lasting clean ‘coat’, you can apply a layer of waterproofing for extra protection against acid rain, sea air and UV rays.
