Maintenance Tips
Retractable Awnings
One of the most important things you can do to extend the life of your awning is to keep it clean. This means removing debris such as leaves and branches, as well as wiping down the fabric with Sunbrella Clean Multi-Purpose Fabric Cleaner (available here in our Online Store) to remove any dirt or stains. It's also important to inspect your awning for any signs of damage, such as tears or frayed edges, and address any issues as soon as they are noticed.
Another important aspect of awning care is protecting it from the elements. This means making sure that the awning is closed during inclement weather and that it is not left open during high winds. While our wind sensors do an excellent job of detecting high winds and should automatically retract your awning, this feature is not a guarantee your awning will not be damaged from high winds while projected.

Motorized
Shades & Screens
Cleaning and caring for your motorized shades and screens is not time-consuming, and when you take time to maintain your investment, your screen will have a longer life. This means you’ll be able to enjoy the shade they provide for a long time!
The care and upkeep of your motorized solar screen are essential if you want to have it for many years to come. Simple tasks will keep you from a costly repair down the road.
When you retract or roll down your insect screen, listen to the motors. You should not hear any loud noises as the motor is designed to be whisper-quiet. If you hear a concerning noise, contact SPF and one of our technicians will be happy to help.
About 4 times a year (once per quarter), you will want to clean your motorized solar screen. The more you are intentional about the upkeep of your screen, you can stay on top of issues as they arise.
You can wipe away loose dirt from the track with a cloth or even your vacuum. Keeping the track clean will help your mosquito screen to move up and down easily.
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the outside of the sun screen. As you wipe down the outside of the frame, check for any dents or cracks in the frame that would cause the rolling screen to not work properly.
Do not use a silicone spray or WD-40 on the tracks of your motorized shades. These sprays only attract more dirt and dust and interfere with the movement of the tracks.
To clean the rolling shade mesh or fixed screen, use a damp cloth to gently wipe away debris or dust. Allow the screen to dry before retracting into its protective casing.
Between washing with soap and water, you can use a soft-bristled brush to remove unwanted dirt and debris that have collected on the surface of the rolling screen.
Avoid using harsh chemicals when you clean your motorized retractable screen. A mild soap such as Dawn or Ajax will work just fine.
A power washer is too vigorous for your retractable rolling screen. A garden hose has just the right amount of pressure to rinse off soap and debris from the mesh screen.
