Self-cleaning & care of awnings
How to keep your awning looking good for a long time with little effort.
Colours, fabrics and light - they all contribute to making your patio or balcony a place where you enjoy spending time. In order to ensure that your awning fabric remains as beautiful as on the first day, even after many years, the materials from weinor are provided with a high-quality protective finish, providing water, dirt and dust virtually no chance.
Clever EQUIPMENT - beautiful effect
weinor awning fabrics use special impregnation such as HI-CLEAN® (Parà) or TEXgard (Sattler). This protective finish preserves the fabric, allowing water and dirt to simply roll off*
Water-repellent: rain and other liquids run off without a trace.
Dirt-repellent: the invisible protective layer prevents watery or oily dirt from sticking - deposits simply don't stick.
All fabrics in our my collections 2 collection are certified with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 and offer excellent sun protection with at least 93.3% UV protection - for carefree hours outdoors.
How to keep your awning fabric looking good for a long time
A few simple care tips will help to maintain the finish of your fabric in the long term:
- Avoid moisture. Only roll up the awning when wet in exceptional cases and allow the fabric to dry as soon as possible.
- Remove pollen and loose dirt with your vacuum cleaner's upholstery brush or carefully with adhesive tape.
- For stubborn stains, moisten the cloth with clean water and allow the dirt to soften.
- Use lukewarm water (max. 40 °C) and a 5-10 % mild detergent solution.
- Apply the foam with a sponge, do not rub it in and rinse it with plenty of clean water after 15-20 minutes.
- Then allow the fabric to dry completely.
Never rub or brush the awning fabric too hard. High-pressure cleaners are also taboo in order to avoid damaging the protective surface.
If you have an open awning, you can retract it far enough during cleaning so that the affected surface can be easily reached from below.
Natural care - lasting beauty
With the right care, the protection of your awning fabric will remain active for a long time and your outdoor area will remain as beautiful as you know and love it: with colours which shine and fabrics which impress, even after several years of use.
* Please note that the degree of impregnation decreases during the course of time.
