Soft Washing Fabric Awnings | How I Do It!

[@newyouproductions11]

Much appreciated. I'm doing my first cloth awning cleaning today. This really helped.

Glad it helped

Better video than some of the others on this subject, even if it's taken on a phone. No goofy BS.

[@cleanindustriespressurewas4073]

Thank you!

Good stuff! I got a residential awning/pool area job tomorrow. The awnings are a little bit less common for me to do, as not many have em in my area, so I figured hell lets see what other guys are up to while thinking about it. I mostly do a lot of commercial concrete, and vinyl homes/driveways, but anyways, it's good to see someone out here who actually knows what they're doing with it. A lot of these guys I watch are putting out bad info. The most important thing you said here is test spot. GUYS PLEASE TEST!!. And another thing, I don't give out price info either, but I will say this: Think about it logically guys, what does it cost you to start your rig and travel say 20 minutes back and forth from a job? Start there. and put a hourly profit (which should be a rate) in for you that you think is fair. Employees? Parts breaking/wear? account for all that. If you cant, hire someone who can (book keeper). For the love of god lastly, Don't be the guy who charges 99$ for house washing. You'll be outta business 1st-2nd year.

Thank you for the wisdom. this is going to help me out tons! I been struggling with cleaning awnings so I tend to shy away from them but this video is going to help me. Thanks.

A 6% mix seems kinda high . The last ones i did were covered in moss and lichen . And i was only about a 3.5 ish %. But too each there own

[@cleanindustriespressurewas4073]

Yeah. Some of the awnings I've cleaned came clean with a weaker mix. Some haven't. Plus, I'm batch mixing so it makes it challenging to hit some hot and others warm....

[@smashingintexas765]

Good stuff brother!!!

[@cleanindustriespressurewas4073]

Thanks, dude!

[@vcash1112]

You think that 1.5 % SH would work and be less risky or maybe use a Pro Awnings cleaning product. Can elaborate why you felt 5% was needed?

[@cleanindustriespressurewas4073]

Well, my best advice would be to start with the weakest mix possible and work your way up as needed. However, I didn't get a shot of how heavy the organic growth was before I cleaned it. It would make more sense if I did.

[@577buttfan]

Bologna and hot dogs lol..12% straight on anything would make me nervous.Burns holes through my clothes in seconds.

[@cleanindustriespressurewas4073]

I agree. Gotta be careful with the sauce, man. I've been burned several times, myself

Thank you, kindly!

[@tcod7495]

wont the bleach ruin the waterproofing and eat the stitching?

[@cleanindustriespressurewas4073]

Haven't had any issues yet!

[@vcash1112]

I dont get it why you need the 100 fooy 3/8 hose? When can run 5/16 from the system without jacking the plastic valve on the ground..

[@cleanindustriespressurewas4073]

Lol. Good observation! It was my first time using the wfp. That error has been corrected!

[@kelvinguevara4920]

Is there an industrial training class for this type of services?

[@cleanindustriespressurewas4073]

I'm not aware of any specific awning cleaning classes, but there are several youtube videos on it.

[@mygandme9562]

I have some red awnings to do soon and not sure on what chemicals to use weather sh 10% and put half gallon sh and 3 gallons of water will fade the awnings ?

[@cleanindustriespressurewas4073]

Always do a test spot with fabric awnings with straight 12.5% sh. If they don't "bleach out", then proceed to clean using as strong of a mix as needed.
