As the summer months draw to a close, outdoor gatherings become few. It is that time of year to put the tiki torches and beach balls away, and pull out the sweaters, down comforters, and clean out the fireplace. The same should be said for replacement canopies for gazebos. With a gazebo more commonly associated as an outdoor gathering place during the summertime, care should be taken to make sure that the canopy on top is put away as well. Sure, it may seem like a daunting task: having to remove the entire fabric from the frame of the gazebo, folding it, and storing it away. But in the end, all of the effort will be well worth it, when next summer rolls around, because you will have another season to enjoy the gazebo. Here a few tips and suggestions from replacement canopy online retailer Garden Winds would like you to consider when c aring, cleaning, and storing your replacement canopy.
Because the replacement canopy is a cloth roof for the gazebo, over time and constant exposure to the sun, wind, and rain, it will eventually deteriorate. On average, the gazebo canopy is used for about two to three seasons. This is dependent on the type of climate you live in. However, if you take extra care of the replacement canopy, it can last you another season or so. One of the first steps you can take once you remove the canopy is to clean it thoroughly. This can easily be done by washing the top down with a sponge or brush using a mild soap and water mixture. Once washed, allow the canopy to completely dry about 24 hours before storing away for the winter. It is not recommended that you wash the canopy top in a clothes washer. As an outdoor fabric, the material and construction of the replacement canopy is different than a cotton t-shirt.
Another way to wash the canopy is with the 303 Fabric Cleaner Concentrate. This cleaner can remove mildew, dirt, and other stains. Not only can it be used for outdoor fabrics, it can be used for indoor fabrics, such as furniture upholstery, carpeting, and vinyl. Its solvent-free formula removes mildew, mold, dirty, bird droppings, grease, oil, and most other stains from any water-safe textile material. Gazebo canopies, outdoor awnings, patio furniture, carpet, upholstery, curtains, fabric convertible tops, tonneau covers, bimini tops, and indoor furniture can all be cleaned with 303. This product is safe for the environment because it is non-toxic, biodegradable. It does not contain soap detergent or toxic chemicals and rinses off residue-free.
