Awning cleaning

What do you use to clean awnings ?
Bleach oxygen, bleach .
Any suggestions

Depends what’s on them…

Most people use the search function, but today is another $1000 day so I’m giving out zero effort answers like Oprah trying to keep the streak alive.

Thanks.

I have a customer with the same exact awning issue, I don’t think she’d go for $100 each though.

This awning was a test for the main awning. Same process. No shadows.

Awesome. I have some bad ones to do this Monday. Wouldn’t know how to approach them without your previous posts.

I used your process on three jobs coincidently on the same street. Thanks for taking the time to tutor me

Cleaned a couple before with no issues but this thing is driving me nuts. Hit it with 50/50 twice, scrubbed, scraped. Looks great from a little distance and before and after looks awesome but up close you can still see this. My next attempt is dragon juice at 10/1 and see what happens. Any other ideas?

Try one more time with the 50/50 and a splash of EBC. If that doesn’t work the streaks might be metallic and I wouldn’t dare use F9 or oxalic on them. Might be baked in the cake.

Sounds good. Yeah hitting with an acid never crossed my mind lol

Ridiculously good looking. Did you have to scrape or just use your super hot mix and lots of scrubbing? Thx

Thanks man. Both. See the video above.

Did the job today. These ones had quite the growth on them but they turned out great. Thanks again @squidskc

No you’re the man! Haha thanks. Yeah but it’s a simple process. Apply close to a 50/50 mix with some elemonator, use a scraper with dulled edges and end to scrape off the growth, apply mix again, scrub with stuff brush, then medium pressure rinse with around 1000psi. Sounds like a lot but it doesn’t take long and it’s satisfying to see them come clean.

That’s booked marked for sure on my end. You’ve done such a great restoration my wife said, did @Max1 install new ones ?

I appreciate it!! Like washing wood, make sure you rinse doing even strokes or it’ll leave a mark.
:rofl: Yeah I actually destroyed the original ones and had to pay to have new ones installed… :joy:

I think the scraper and the brush actually move things along pretty rapidly. A lot better than bleaching pressure washing and bleaching pressure washing and bleaching pressure washing. Good job Max. I started swapping eliminator for EBC and I think the results move along even just a tad faster for some reason.
