I use vinyl siding cleaner in a pressure washer with the soft contact tip. I wash the whole RV the same way and get it done in about an hour.

I met a factory rep from A&E and he told me to use 4 oz of lemon Dawn and 4 oz of clorox in a gallon and a half of water. Put it in a garden sprayer and spray the entire awning top and bottom. Roll it up for a half hour to 45 minutes. Open it scrub and it will look like the day it was put on. I've been doing this for 4 years and the awnings still look new.


That was the same information given to me by A&E over the phone. I also have used this method for 4 years, it is simple and works. I use the same long handle brush for washing the MH and brush it down standing on an 8 foot ladder.

I'll second the opinion on using a Magic Eraser on a vinyl awning. My old travel trailer awning had several stains that wouldn't come off no matter what I used. I tried a magic eraser, and I was amazed at how easily these old stains were removed.
