Adding an awning to your commercial space is an investment you won’t regret. Customers and employees benefit from a shaded and protective outdoor space, while business owners reap the benefits of lower cooling costs, increased branding visibility, and additional spaces to conduct their business. Here are some options to help keep your investment in good working condition all year long. 

Check Frequently for Damage

Make sure to check your awning frequently for damage. If you see something like a hole or tear in your awning’s fabric it is better to have it repaired sooner rather than later. If you delay a repair, the hole or tear will potentially become larger and be more difficult to fix. 

Remove Dust and Debris

Based on the location of your awning, you may find that dust and debris build up pretty quickly on your fabric. To keep your awning looking clean and professional, simply sweep away the particles using a broom. A damp mop can also be effective for this purpose. 

Spot Clean 

While you are checking or sweeping your awning, you may notice small stains on your fabric. Spot clean these areas as soon as you notice them using a mild soap and soft cloth or scrub brush. Dealing with these spots sooner helps to keep the stain from setting in.  

Pressure Wash 

Your awning will occasionally need a deep cleaning. Pressure washing can help remove dirt and debris quickly, leaving your awning looking good as new! We recommend hiring professionals if you don’t use pressure washers frequently. You want to be sure that you are hiring someone who has experience cleaning awnings, specifically, to minimize the chances of damage to your investment.
