Proper care and maintenance are important for ensuring that your Sunesta awning remains in optimal condition and lasts for years to come. Here are some expert tips for taking care of the awnings:
Clean Regularly
Clean your awnings regularly to remove dirt, debris, and environmental pollutants. Use a soft-bristle brush or sponge and a mild soap or cleaning solution recommended by the awning manufacturer. Gently scrub the fabric, focusing on any soiled areas or stains. Rinse thoroughly with water to remove any residue and allow the awning to air dry completely before retracting it.
Clean Carefully
Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the fabric and affect its color and integrity. Stick to mild cleaning solutions specifically formulated for awning fabrics or a small amount of dish soap.
Attend to any stains or spills on your awning as soon as possible. Blot the affected area gently with a clean cloth or sponge using a mild detergent solution. Avoid rubbing the fabric, as it can spread the stain or damage the fibers. Rinse thoroughly and let the fabric air dry.
Retract When Not in Use
It’s important to retract your Sunesta awning during harsh weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow, strong winds, or storms. Retracting the awning will protect it from potential damage caused by excessive weight, wind stress, or debris.
Inspect Regularly
Regularly inspect your awnings for any signs of damage, such as tears, loose stitching, or bent components. Address any issues promptly by contacting a professional awning service or the manufacturer for repairs. Perform seasonal maintenance to keep your awnings in top shape. This may include checking the frame for stability, lubricating moving parts, tightening bolts or screws if necessary, and inspecting the awning fabric for signs of wear or damage.
Consider scheduling professional maintenance for your Sunesta awning. Professional services can help ensure that all components are in proper working order. If you’re in Edmonton, Solaris can help with any maintenance.

Following these care tips will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your awning, allowing you to enjoy them for many years to come.
