Cleaning and care

Fabric
Awning fabric is a high-quality product mostly made
from acrylic or polyester fibers (according to the de-
clared properties). It will maintain its quality for years,
if a few requirements are observed. The local environ-
ment has a huge impact on the cleaning frequency.
Dry environments require less cleaning than humid
ones. The fabric can be cleaned when necessary, still
a general cleaning should be carried out every two to
three years and in warm and dry weather conditions:
FABRIC INFORMATION
Due to its functional requirements and production
methods, retractable screen fabric has specific char-
acteristics that do not affect the quality of the fabric or
reduce its suitability for use.
•
Creasing occurs during confection and folding of
fabric. Creased areas may look darker, especially on
light colours.
•
Chalk effects, visible as light stripes, can occur dur-
ing production.
Frame
The frame is made of powder coated steel and/or alu-
minum components. The rest of the hardware is made
of corrosion-resistant materials. Over time, dust and
dirt will collect on the frame and will require periodic
cleaning. Use a water/detergent mixture and a soft
clean cloth to clean the frame components.
In most situations it should not be necessary to lubri-
cate the moving components of the pergola awning.

1. Extract the retractable screen completely.
2. Brush off loose dirt and debris.
3. Wet the fabric with a garden hose.
4. Mix mild soap with lukewarm water.
5. Clean the fabric with a soft brush from both sides.
6. Let the soap water soak in for ten minutes.
7. Thoroughly rinse the fabric with a garden hose.
8. Let the fabric air dry, do not apply heat.
9. Retract the retractable screen.
•
Ripples in the seam and border can be formed by
multiple layers of fabric, while it is rolled up on the
roller tube.
•
Rain resistance for a light and short rain is given
for impregnated, water repellent fabrics if the pitch
angle of the awning is 14° or more. In stronger or
prolonged rain, the awning must be retracted in
order to avoid damage. Wet retracted retractable
screen should be extracted as soon as possible in
order to dry thoroughly.
However, when squeaking occurs, the use of a silicone
spray lubricant is recommended. Attach a straw to
the spray nozzle of the silicone spray and lubricate the
pivot between the end of the roller tube and the end
brackets on both sides. Take care not to overspray on
the fabric of the retractable screen.
Important: Do not use any petroleum based spray
lubricant.
