CARE OF AWNING
7.5 Mildew
Mildew caused by moist weather can be recognized by small brown spots
which are found inside the canvas. In most cases this happens because
a moist awning has been packed too long. Regardless of the type of the
material the awning is made from, you always need to make sure that
when an awning is packed wet, it is hung to dry within twenty-four hours
and has the opportunity to dry properly.
Mildew can also occur when the canvas is used during a long period of time
in a moist environment. During the production of most awnings synthetic
fibers are used which are coated.
With most fabrics this coating is on the outside of the canvas only, because
of this, this material will cause almost no condensation because the fibers
on the inside of the awning will absorb some of the moisture. In this damp
condition mildew can start to settle, which will then lead to the brown
spots as mentioned before. Most of the condensation is caused by large
differences in temperature. This occurs specifically during spring and
autumn. When the humidity in the awning is high for a long period of
time, brown spots can appear on the inside of the awing. Permanent site
campers will therefore experience mildew quicker than people who camp
only a few weeks during the summertime. Otherwise, the mildew does not
effect the quality of the roof material and has also no negative influence
on the durability of the awning. Cleaning these brown spots is reasonably
possible. The inside of the roof can be treated with a mixture of one part of
bleach and ten parts of water. With the use of a sponge or soft brush you
can rub on this mixture.
After the canvas has dried, you will notice that 80% to 90% of the spots
have disappeared. Partially some of these spots might still be visible, this
is inherent to the material. In case you feel the need to do so you can
repeat this treatment. By using a ground sheet with good sealing qualities
condensation built up can be reduced dramatically. In case you use an
awning carpet, it is advisable to use some foil underneath the carpet to
avoid condensation from building up. Of course it is very important that
there is enough ventilation.
Note: In case of heavy contamination of your inflatable tent, we recommend
to clean, using products from our DEFA accessories line. These products are
available from your supplier.
