We have our touring caravan sited all year round now and have an isabella awning pitched all year too. We jet wash the awning twice a year to keep it clean, this is fine for the walls but now seem to be struggling to get the roof clean , any ideas for a good solution to put in the jet wash to remove the dirt ????????

The way i do it is remove all the frame and allow the awning to hang from the rail then give it a wipe over with a sponge and water. I could only suggest using some sort of awning cleaning solution,ie fenwicks or some other suitable gentle cleaner,Probably best not to use a detergent,ie fairy liquid,then rinse off with the power washer and re erect the awning. Hope this helps.

I would watch what kind of solution you use for if it gets on the sides you may get leaks,i would use just plain water and a sponge.
