Canvas awning algae

Recommended Posts

New guy on board, first post ... go easy.

I searched high / low for algae cleaning threads, found none.

A potential customer on a residential home called me the other day to look at few of his canvas awnings covered with algae and heavily solid dirt that he wished cleaned. (3 yrs since last clean'n) Also, may need color restoring I think.

I've cleaned canvas before, except they were only covered w / surface dirt.

Tony C from A+, these are like two of the four you cleaned.

Any ideas, on what cleaning products to use?

I did add my sig btw, prior to the post.

Not sure why it did not take then but it did now.

ARS replied this morning, to the pic's.

Thought someone else could use this info as well, besides me.

"The awnings appear to be Sunbrella (Burgundy #4631).

They clean up real nice with Universal Fabric cleaner used full strength

( with 2 ounces of Stain Magic mixed in per gallon).

Apply it to dry fabric from the bottom up.

On the real ugly awnings more than 1 scrubbing will be needed.

They should be sealed with Fabric Weatherizer to keep future cleanings easier.

When done properly they should clean up to the point that coloring would not be needed.

Resurfacing Compound would be used to colorize the fabric and the white trim."
