Scotchgard® protection

You have chosen an awning fabric which is treated with Scotchgard® protection and thus offers you exceptional quality.

As a result of it's protective properties the awning fabric is kept looking newer for longer. However, it still requires regular care and maintenance.

General care and maintenance

Scotchgard® protection provides high water repellency. It gives a lasting protection even after repeated use. Do not roll up an awning when wet unless this is unavoidable and then unroll as soon as possible for drying.

General instructions for taking out stains:

Grease and oil stains caused by installation may be removed by using turpentine or similar and an absorbent cloth. Clean up spills and stains right away. Spills can be removed by using a clean absorbent cloth. Use a soft brush to remove dust and dry soil or wash down with water (e.g. garden hose). Allow the fabric to dry naturally before rolling up the awning. If thorough cleaning is necessary, sponge over the awning using a mild soap solution (2% solution e.g. PERSIL). Rinse well with plenty of water to remove all soap residues.
