Awning cleaners
I have a white awning on my slide that needs cleaning. What do you use to clean your awning?

Bleach on an RV and awning? Even diluted? I was wondering because I need something for my awning and black streaks on my Aluminum Shasta RV have streaks where the awning arms sit

I use Totally Awesome as I mentioned above. We use it on the awnings, RV, and everything else. Never had an issue and works great

Scrubbing Bubbles, Spray it on as a foam, doesn't drip in your face.

Do you just spray it on and rinse?

Does it get the white area white again? Do you need to use a scrub brush too?

:-) I knew if you tried it you would like it and you can't beat the price. I had a neighbor who was a truck driver that told me about it.

Awesome mix ratio for vinyl is 10:1. Is that what you guys are using for your awnings or is it full strength?

We just use it straight out of the spray bottle. Have not had a problem. If you are afraid to do that just test a small area first.

I don't think so. We previously used it on a Tiffin motorhome that was painted and it never did on that. We just spraye it on and wiped it right off along with any black streaks.
