Has anyone used any of these products, and if so, how did they work for you? I'm placing an order from this company anyway so if I can order something for this at the same time I'd like to:

Equals= a clean awning.... I mix a 50/50 ratio of water and bleach with a tablespoon of Dawn, (the Dawn acts as a surfactant, spreads the bleach evenly, keeps it from beading up) apply with a hand pump up garden sprayer, scrub the bad areas with a car wash brush, rinse with copious amounts of water, reapply if necessary..... Make sure it's good and dry before rolling up, see you next year....
This is what we use on our A&E 8000 series awning..... It may not work the same for you, or it may damage on yours.

Nice disclaimer! Mine's an A & E too. I just saw the stuff that I used when I was in picking up some other items. I am all about home remedies though! And those are normal items in our household...

LOL, Some days the groceries are a bit scarce around here, but there's always plenty of Grain, Hay, Dawn and CLOROX!!
That Dawn works pretty good at ridding the dog of fleas!!
Sharon... Wonder what the active ingredients are in those three products you posted...?

I have a "recipe" for a great general purpose household cleaner. I fill an empty gallon jug (I use an old vinegar bottle) with water. I pour out (2) cups of the water, then pour in (1) cup of white vinegar and fill the jug the rest of the way with original blue Dawn & then shake to mix. I use it (diluted) for patio furniture, mopping my tile floors, walls, window screens, etc. You can add bleach into the dilution for tough jobs. Works great!
