How to Remove Stubborn Stains on an RV Awning
Recreational vehicles, or RVs, are mobile living spaces used primarily for camping and recreational purposes. Awnings are installed on RVs to reduce temperatures inside the vehicles and provide shady areas outside. They also prevent the sun's ultraviolet rays from damaging RV interiors. Since these awnings are often exposed to dirt and dust, they require monthly cleaning. Certain debris may occasionally mar awnings, causing stubborn stains. Fortunately, certain cleaning products are effective at removing dirt and difficult stains from RV awnings.
