I love sitting out under the awning in my camping chair during the day while watching the kids play. A<\/span>nd I love the shade my awning brings. But I don\u2019t like the dirt that my awning collects. This technique for cleaning my awning in under five minutes has changed my life. <\/p>\n

How to Clean RV Awnings in Under 5 Minutes<\/h2>\n

So, how do you clean your RV awning in less than 5 minutes? <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Spray the underside of your awning with a soap and water mixture.<\/li>\n
  2. Roll it up let it sit for an hour. <\/li>\n
  3. Roll the awning back out, rinse it off<\/li>\n
  4. Let it dry. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This is the best way to spend about 5 minutes cleaning RV awnings, and they come out like a brand new, dust-free awni<\/g>ng. <\/p>\n

    The total time for this method takes about an hour. Bu the total time that you actually spend working on it takes about 5 minutes. It\u2019s a great project while cleaning out your RV. <\/p>\n

    Make sure that you pick a sunny day to clean RV awnings. The whole thing will need the sun to dry it. Rinse off your awning and let it mostly dry before you clean it. Or, just unroll your awning and get started. <\/p>\n

    Step One: Prepare the RV Awning Cleaner <\/h3>\n

    Find an old spray bottle or sprayer. Make sure that it is cleaned out and then mix together two parts cleaner to eight parts water. You can really use any cleaner that you like. <\/p>\n

    Some people like to use dish soap when they clean their awnings. It\u2019s a softer soap and they feel more comfortable using it around the paint that is on their RV. Dawn Ultra Dish soap is a popular option. However, there are many different types of soap you can use. <\/p>\n

    The safest RV awning cleaners include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Camco RV awning cleaner<\/li>\n
    • Dr. Bronner\u2019s Castille Soap<\/li>\n
    • Simple Green<\/li>\n
    • Automobile wash<\/li>\n
    • Star Brite Mildew Stain Remover<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Step Two: Spray the Bottom of Your Awning<\/h3>\n

      After you get your cleaning mixture set up, spray the entire underside of the awning. <\/p>\n

      Step 3: Roll Up Your Awning<\/h3>\n

      Next, roll up your awning. Let the mixture sit there for about an hour. This works for both automated awnings and manual, retractable awnings. <\/p>\n

      Step 4: Unroll Your Awning and Rinse it Off<\/h3>\n

      After you have waited an hour, unroll your awning. Use your hose to rinse it off top and back. This shouldn\u2019t take very long. Make sure that you get all of the soap off of the awning. <\/p>\n

      Step 5: Let the Awning Dry Out<\/h3>\n

      After rinsing your awning, let it stay open. The sun will dry it. <\/p>\n

      Once your awning is dry, roll it back up. Your camper is ready to go.<\/p>\n
