In this blog, we will share our expert tips for keeping your Bull Mountain retractable awning looking its best, so you can continue to enjoy the benefits of a well-maintained and visually appealing outdoor oasis.
- Routine Cleaning for Lasting Freshness: Regular cleaning is fundamental to awning maintenance. As proud owners of a Bull Mountain retractable awning, you’ll want to maintain its pristine appearance. Simply use a soft-bristled brush or broom to sweep away debris and dust, then gently hose down the fabric with lukewarm water. A mild soap solution and a soft sponge will do the trick for tougher stains while avoiding aggressive scrubbing to protect the fabric’s integrity.
- Retract to Protect: A Wise Practice: At Bull Mountain, we understand the importance of protecting your investment. When your retractable awning is not
in use, we recommend retracting it to shield it from harsh weather elements such as rain, wind, and prolonged sun exposure. Opting for a motorized retractable awning with automatic wind and rain sensors ensures effortless protection, even when you’re away from home. - Mindful Frame Care: Cleaning and Inspections: While the fabric is the star of your Bull Mountain retractable awning, the frame deserves attention too. Schedule routine frame inspections to check for rust, corrosion, or any signs of wear. If you spot any issues, gently wash, clean, and rinse the frame with a mild soap and water solution, and apply a protective coating to preserve its longevity.

Before retracting your awning, ensure it is dry to prevent mold growth. If you encounter any signs of mold or mildew, treat it promptly with vinegar and water or use a commercial mold remover as directed.
