We are about to take down the awning from the van which has been on a seasoal pitch, unfortunatly the top of it has become very dirty because there is a large tree nearby.
What is the best method of cleaning & which is the best reproofer?

Use soapy water on mine.  someone will probably say that it won't do the waterproofing any good but not had to waterproof yet.

We cleaned our awning using a small amount of washing powder in a bucket of hot water with a scrubbing brush, it took quite a time to do but was well worth it.
Ours is a Dorema made from tencate material so may have been a bit more durable than some of the canvas type ones.
I use the same on ground sheets and a soft sweeping brush then just hose off.

I use pure soap flakes on mine, dissolved in a bucket using a brush to clean awning and a hose to clean off the soap , we still had to reproof it but it was very clean when we had finished, its a 1993 Isabella Combi awning, it was the first time it had been cleaned.
