Cleaning and maintenance of full cassete awnings: 5 tips to extend service life
Full cassete awnings bring coolness and comfort to our outdoor space. However, daily wind, sun, rain and rain can easily make it dusty and dirty. If it is not carefully maintained, it will not only affect the appearance, but also shorten the service life. Don't worry, master the following 5 tips to keep your awning as new as new for a long time.
First of all, regular dust removal is the basis. Every one or two weeks, use a soft dry cloth or feather duster to gently brush away the dust, pollen and debris on the surface of the awning. For the grooves and corners of the box structure that are easy to hide dust, you can use a small brush to carefully clean the dust out to avoid excessive accumulation of stubborn stains and erosion of the awning.
Stain treatment requires a method. Once you find stains such as juice and bird droppings, clean them in time. Prepare a basin of warm water, add a small amount of neutral detergent, dip a sponge in it and gently wipe the dirty area, gradually moving from the edge of the stain to the center to prevent the stain from spreading. After wiping, rinse with clean water quickly to avoid detergent residue causing discoloration or aging of the tarpaulin. For stains that are difficult to remove, such as red wine stains, you can sprinkle a little salt on the stains and wait for the salt to absorb some of the pigment before cleaning.
Motor lubrication cannot be ignored. The electric opening and closing of the full cassete awning depends on the operation of the motor. Every six months or so, special lubricating oil needs to be added to the motor. Find the oil filling hole of the motor, drip an appropriate amount of lubricating oil, and then open and close the awning several times to evenly distribute the lubricating oil to ensure smooth operation of the motor, reduce friction loss, and avoid damage to the motor due to dryness and jamming.
Pay attention to the waterproofness of the tarpaulin. The waterproof coating of the tarpaulin may be damaged after long-term use. Before the rainy season comes, check the waterproof effect. If water droplets condense into large drops on the surface of the tarpaulin instead of sliding off, waterproof repair is required. There are special tarpaulin waterproof sprays on the market. In clear and dry weather, fully unfold the awning, spray evenly according to the product instructions, and wait for it to dry naturally, and the waterproof performance will be greatly improved.
There are tips for winter storage. In the cold winter, if the awning is not used for a long time, it should be put back into the box. But before putting it back, make sure the awning is completely dry to prevent moisture and mold. At the same time, you can put a few packets of desiccant in the box to absorb moisture and create a dry "hibernation" environment for the awning, so that it will still be intact when you use it next year.
Follow these 5 cleaning and maintenance tips and take good care of your full cassete awning. It will not be afraid of the invasion of time, and it will continue to create a comfortable outdoor leisure space for you, becoming a long-lasting and beautiful scenery in your yard or terrace.
