How To Clean Your RV Awning the Totally Awesome Way

[@pappydc12]

KKOA - I watched a couple of other "cleaning" vids but those awnings didn't look too bad. Then I saw yours - YES! This awning is close to the funkiness and stain level of ours! Thanks for the great before and after shots! Subbed!

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Well we were pretty amazed how well it turned out, looked almost brand new. Thanks for watching and your support ❤️

[@kcstieg]

The idea to role it up to soak for 30 minutes is a really good idea! 👋👋

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Yes you have to allow time for it to break down the gunk before spraying it off. Thanks for watching.

[@KHITT99]

That’s a great idea. I am going to use Spray nine and heard that works.

[@raza-man]

Holy moly, after 10 minutes of scrubbing became exhausted and looked up some how-to videos. I was so excited that I called the wife after just a few seconds into the video and she just happened to be on her way to the Dollar Tree. I can’t wait to try this. Saweeeet!

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Glad you found our video don't forget to spray it real good and roll it back and let it soak for atleast 30 minutes. Let me know how it works out for you.

[@s.pursell8901]

Dude, this worked great. I can't believe how well it worked. It literally looks brand new. The only thing I did differently was I sprayed the side of the trailer down with water first so I didn't take the wax off.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

I know right we couldn't believe it either.Yes it is absolutely amazing stuff. Awe good idea about spraying down the side of the trailer first I did not think of that. Thanks for commenting and watching!

[@barbaralauinger6350]

I’m so glad I found your video. My deck awning has so much moss on it that I was beginning to think it would never come clean. Seeing your RV awning come clean caused me to order this product. Our RV will eventually need it too.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Well as you can see our awning was pretty bad and it looks practically brand new. I am that you are now encouraged to try this out. Thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck!

[@3LPONC3]

I'm camping right now and my awning looks bad. Looking for a cleaning video I found this one! Can't wait to go back home and try it. I'll update after I'm done!

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Yes glad you found our video it works great.

[@josephsnyder5117]

That’s stuff also works that great on the black streaks that form on the sides.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Yes it does just love this stuff.

[@randycordle3532]

Thank you for sharing this video. Very informative, and I enjoyed the way you and your wife described step by step how to accomplish this. My wife and I are going to try this with our camper.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Oh that is great glad to help. Ours came out like brand new. Thanks for watching!

[@MrTommy001]

We just used this method yesterday. Wow! Worked great. Our awning was nowhere near this dirty but we didn't want to wait until it was. The lawn sprayer was a worksaver, and we just happened to have one in our lawn care shed. So, thank you, Kevin, for a great awning cleaning solution. Oh, and we couldn't find a way to measure out the stuff in our five gallon sprayer so I just winged it. Pour in some stuff, pour in some water.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

That great. Yeah I don't think there is am exact measurement. The sprayer is the way to go. I need to clean my awning now on my new bullet. Safe travels and thanks for watching!

[@rickcarter7495]

@@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures use an old gallon milk jug. easy!

[@AndTodaysProjectIs]

Caught me at a perfect timing at Lowe's passing that product in the aisles looking for the same job! Thank you for posting this video

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

It works great. Make sure to roll it up and let it soak.

[@AndTodaysProjectIs]

Holy Smokes!!! Not only did that chemical work amazingly for the awning but I sprayed it on the side of the camper and black and brown stuff started melting away immediately. I used a lighter duty electric pressure washer for the under side of the awning rinse (recommend using a garden hose sprayer to rinse the chemical off first so that it isn't dripping down in the eyes and onto your face when rinsing). I used the RV washer pole brush on the top of the awning and rolled it out a couple feet at a time to make it easier to reach. Finished off by pressure washing the underside and WOW! Brand new looking! Great video sir and mam!

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Good I am glad it worked out for you. It is a night and day difference huh? Well be sure to subscribe and check out some more money saving things we have done Safe travels!

[@dantech1]

That LA cleaner is amazing, but be careful with it on painted surfaces escpecially trailer siding. If not diluted enough, it WILL stain the paint.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Yes it does work good and yes if left on undiluted it can do that. Thanks for watching

[@bpkmm3048]

1:5 ratio. Mine was very dirty from 8 months rolled up in Reno. Used a tankk sprayer, wet the awning and at least 30 minute roll up. The surface dirt rinsed off, but I had to lightly scrub to get the darker junk off. I then had to spot treat and scrub areas to get it really white. It's not a miracle product, but I give it a thumbs up.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Great glad it work out for you. It is night and day difference isn't it. Thanks for watching.

[@mattwhite22]

Thanks, I'll be doing exactly this this weekend!

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Let us know how it turns out for you.

[@Coolbre3zegaming]

Thank you for the video. I’m going to grab some of this right now.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Glad this video helped. Thanks for watching!

[@joannebonaventura]

I wish I had seen this before I cleaned mine. I used the totally awesome with the same results. Didn’t know about rolling the awning up for 30 minutes so it took me a lot longer.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Well now you will know for next time

[@suebrown2206]

Awesome video!

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Hope it helped! Thanks for watching!

[@suebrown2206]

It cleaned it perfectly, looks brand new!! Thx again! Have a great day!

[@angelisaljimenez]

Really looks great!

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Yes it works great. Thanks for watching

[@MrMechanicandy]

Was gonna try the super clean purple stuff

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Yeah I heard that stuff works too. Thanks for watching!

[@yvonneadams5377]

I was thinking hose end sprayer. Then you brought out your tank sprayer. My local Dollar Tree sells that cleaner. Looks like some rain gear my be nice also.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Yes I actually believe we bought it from the dollar store. Yes the sprayer was a game changer over the spray bottle. Thanks for watching!

[@Nurturing2]

Thank y’all❣️

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Glad to help. Thanks for watching.

[@YSLRD]

Lol. 2 seconds in and I was thinking pump sprayer.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Yep I was a little slow. Thanks for watching!

[@KHITT99]

Another idea I got cause I got a round up pump that I use to kill my weeds. That’s such an awesome idea.

[@jeffunik72]

Tried this today but only let it sit for 5mins and didn't work too well.. I'll try again tomorrow and let it sit for the 30-45mins as you suggested. Thank you for this video. Hoping that I can get mine cleaned out good.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Yes you need to let it sit for atleast 30mins to an hour to allow it to break up and dissolve the grime. Good luck and thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jeffunik72]

@@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I’ve tried it all at this point and can’t get the streaks to go. The totally awesome made it 80% better but I can’t get the rest of it. Tried soft brush hard brush pressure washer magic eraser everything but bleach.

[@johnharoldholmesp3379]

I use "30 second cleaner" Spray it on, and let it soak and hose it off.... looks like new and no scrubbing. The product uses all natural enzymes, no bleach or other nasty chemicals.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Well that is cool. I think the key thing it to just let it soak.

[@jeremysiegfried4488]

Great video!

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Good feedback, thanks for watching!

[@bradleycowman5059]

I tried and was a lot of work/elbow grease. I found a Mr Eraser mop works best.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

I heard that worked pretty good too. Thanks for watching!

[@louierfeliz]

Well done brother. #VRA. Keep it up

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks for your words of encouragement. God bless 🙏

[@kevinbiggs63]

Do you mixed some water in with totally awesome so how much you pour water and chemical in sprayer? Thank you

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Yes I mixed it like 10 to 1.

[@fordfan3179]

So.......two years later? Hows it working out?

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Oh it's great. I need to do it again as it is starting to get a little dirty again.

[@fordfan3179]

@@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures i gave it a try, worked pretty good. I used the bug sprayer right out of the gate. I knew I was going to throw that spray bottle out into the street after about five minutes.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

​@fordfan3179 yes it did not take me long to figure it out. The sprayer is definitely the way to go.

[@donklaing]

Can we pull the awning all the way down and leave it at a better angle to access and clean it?

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

I don't see why not. Biggest thing spray it real good then roll it back up for about 30 mins to let it soak in. Thanks for watching.

[@rejn1420]

I guess you didn’t clean the top. Any detailing inside of the roller area

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

The top generally gets clean from the rain or does not show the dirt like the underneath does.

[@martymaddox7828]

We’ve never diluted the cleaner….hubby uses it straight……also takes the black streaks and algae off the siding…….

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Yes I have used it on the siding as well it works great. Thanks for watching!

[@KHITT99]

Usually these type of chemicals are really expensive so diluting it will save money and it lasts longer. Depends on how dirty something is I guess right?lol

[@zimbobwe13]

What about the topside?

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Yes you can spray on topside too. The top side is usually being washed but rain all the time so it usually don't show stains.

[@zimbobwe13]

K thanks 🙏🏼

[@trudyturner3959]

Some cleaners weaken the awning material...our awning was ruined by using a strong cleaner.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Yes this cleaner works really great and isn't caustic like others. Thanks for watching

[@michellecorben7259]

use a paint roller to apply the cleaner

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Hmmm.....that could work too. Thanks for watching.

[@timothybuchanan1611]

The paint roller idea is a good one because when you use a sprayer the mist drifts back on you at times.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Our awning was really dirty I can't believe how great it looks.

[@jamiwebb3297]

You need to pause with your awning when it’s extended about 18” out then wait a few seconds and continue extending it

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Really how come? I have never heard of that. What does that do?

[@rp28]

@@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures the air cylinder needs time to recover. 12-14 inches out from when you first start to open it. Wait about 5 seconds then open it all the way. Same when your rolling it back in

[@timothybuchanan1611]

​@@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventureswhen you roll it back in do you roll it in 18 in and then stop or did you roll it in until it's 18 in from the RV and then stop for a few seconds?

[@abrahamreyes4535]

Not bad!

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Yes it worked great, like new! Thanks for watching!

[@susanhust2555]

Did it twice and it did not come clean

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Did you spray and let it soak for 45 mind that is key. You may need to no dilute so much and use more full strength

[@georgeblank2648]

Need a bigger sprayer

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

I know, right? Thanks for watching!

[@lifeisgood952]

Dude where’s the link to buy this product? You forgot the most important thing.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

LOL yeah I was going to list it through our amazon page but forgot. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

I added links now where it can be purchased. Thanks for looking out :)

[@genegodwin769]

Dollar Tree !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Store !!

[@goldenshepardgwen166]

Dollar stores sell it and it is very cheap less than five bucks!

[@amyp9357]

Dollar General had it. It’s 2024 and the gallon cost $6.75. I was happy with searching google to find it. Thank you!

[@thefix2573]

Hey thanks for not having some stupid intro, making us listen to your wife, or talking about your dog's personality. A man's video.

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

LOL! yeah I usually do the editing on our "How To" videos and yes I am like you I just want to get to the point on how to fix something. Thanks for your comment !

[@gardnetbush9768]

Or put it in your foam gun

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Wow yes they would probably work too. Thanks for watching.

[@Roadwarier9871]

Damn bro that awning looked horrible when you first rolled it out you need to use a bleach solution to get rest of that crap off...Yeah it sucks cleaning and maintaining the RV awnings but it needs to be done on a regular basis then it will be a whole lot easier to maintain ...

[@KevinandKimOutdoorAdventures]

Yes I know it was one of those things you don't think about.it turned out good though and the totally awesome works great. Thanks for watching.
