Why is Awning Cleaning Necessary?
Awning
cleaning is among the most beneficial ways to keep costly
awnings looking beautiful for many years. Whether awnings
are used to screen the building from the elements, enhance
the architectural theme of the building, or act as signage,
awnings should be kept clean.
Besides
the esthetic aspect of awning cleaning, keeping an awning
clean helps to sustain the useful life of the awning.
Professional awning cleaning removes harmful bird droppings,
airborne dirt and contaminants, mold, and mildew.
Professional awning cleaning won't remove paint, rust, or
other permanent stains.
Depending chiefly on the design
and construction, awning cleaning can be done with the
fabric in-place or removed. It's important to note that
regardless of the type of inner liner, the inside of the
awning must also be cleaned. Interior awning cleaning over
parking spaces sometimes requires strong detergents to
loosen the oily dirt and grime.
How is Awning Cleaning Done?
Typically, awning cleaning is done
with a pressure washer. Pressure is set to the lowest needed
for the awning cleaning job, reducing the possibility of
damage to the awning. The water used in awning cleaning must
always be clean. Awning cleaning using green detergents is
usually performed low to high. The operator will start at
the lowest point of the awning and work their way to the
highest. Rinsing is always done in the opposite manner,
high-to-low.
How Often Should Awning Cleaning be Done?
Awnings should be cleaned every 30
to 60 days to keep dirt and grime from being deeply embedded
in the fabric, which requires far more aggressive awning
cleaning to remove. Thorough awning cleaning should be done
every 12 to 24 months.
Awning Cleaning Misconception.
Misconception: Professional awning cleaning weakens the
fabric and shortens the life of the awning.
Truth: Cotton and synthetic
stitching break down from exposure to UV rays, sometimes in
as little as 5 years. While awning cleaning is rarely the
cause of loose stitching, awning cleaning may show that
stitch rotting is present thus leading to the misconception
that awning cleaning shortens awning life.
Why Choose Where Shade Is Made for Your Awning
Cleaning Needs?
Let
Where Shade Is Made keep your awnings spotless and looking
like new all year round. Where Shade Is Made has been in the
awning cleaning business for nearly 3 decades. Since 1982,
we have been cleaning and maintaining residential and
commercial awnings for clients throughout Orange County, Los
Angeles County, Riverside County and the greater Southern
California area.
Our trained professionals have
years of experience in awning cleaning. We conduct
background checks on each technician prior to their joining
our team. They have a "customer first" approach and are
professional at all times.
Our Process
We begin
our process by inspecting the interior and exterior of your
awnings for tar spots, stains, paint, and sunspots. We also
inspect for worn, torn, weak, and rotted areas.
Next we
provide you with a detailed report of our findings and
explain the scope of your project. Upon your approval, we
will start the awning cleaning project.
Our awning
cleaning methods are advance, efficient, and high quality.
We use the finest cleaning materials while keeping the
environment in mind. We use water-fed poles (Tucker Pole) to
clean hard to reach spots and prevent damage to your
awnings. By using our water-fed pole we are able to
efficiently feed the appropriate cleaners directly through
the pole to remove spider webs, cob webs, mildew spots,
dirt, and stubborn stains.
When
cleaning vinyl and fabric awnings that have been neglected
for some time, we use Green Deep Clean to remove deeply
embedded soils and restore the natural appearance of the
awning.
Once the
cleaning process is complete, we give you the option to
protect your awnings with Green Awning Armor to penetrate
and replace the important plasticizers that keep vinyl
awnings soft, supple, and colorful. This will drastically
improve the appearance of the awning as well as provide
increased protection against sun rays, rain, and airborne
pollutants.
For
awnings that are not worn from the sun or rain or badly
soiled, Green Awning Cleaner and Protectant can be used as a
one step restoration process. When used with the Tucker Pole
it removes light stains and dirt, leaving a protective
finish.
If the
awning you want to clean is acrylic fabric or canvas, we use
Green Awning Guard 90 Plus to repel water and stains. With
proper maintenance, Green Awning Guard 690 Plus will provide
effective protection for up to one year.
Our awning
cleaning estimates are always FREE.
We are
fully insured.
