 NOTICE 

Do not use oil based cleaners or any caustic, granulated, or 

abrasive type cleaners on your Carefree product. 

1.  One of the best ways to keep the fabric looking good and to delay the need 

for deep or vigorous cleanings is to hose fabrics off on a monthly basis with 
clear water.  This practice will help prevent dirt from becoming deeply 
imbedded in the fabric.  In most environments, a thorough cleaning will be 
needed every two to three years. 

2.  When it is time for a thorough cleaning, the fabric can be cleaned while still 

on the awning frame.  Use a soft brush and warm water with soap. 

3.  When cleaning the fabric, it is important to observe the following: 



Always use a natural soap, never detergent. 



Water should be cold to lukewarm, never more than 100



F. 



Air-dry only.  Never apply heat to the fabric. 



Always allow the fabric to dry thoroughly before storing the room.

ILDEW

Mildew is a fungus growth that looks like dirt.  Under ordinary conditions, mildew 
will not appear.  However, in areas where high temperature and humidity are 
common, mildew can be a problem and require the material to be washed more 
frequently.  Thoroughly rinse the fabric with clean water and allow to air dry 
completely before storing the room.
