Usually mold is a problem when several conditions persist.
Mold grows on dirt – if awnings are not cleaned often enough, this lays the groundwork for a mold issue.
Mold loves moisture. Coastal properties tend to have more mold issues; also, awnings with greater shade are more prone to mold problems.
Once mildew /mold has a foothold, it is always a battle to control it because it grows into the weave of the fabric – this is why there is often staining.
Finally, there is no way to 100% eliminate mold growing; after all, awnings are mounted in an exterior setting. We recommend a regular cleaning schedule to help mitigate this natural process.
