Proper maintenance is key to keeping your window coverings on the Sunshine Coast looking great and functioning well despite the region’s sun, wind, and occasional storms. Follow these simple steps:
Humidity can encourage mould growth. Ensure awnings are completely dry before retracting them, and use a vinegar-water solution to spot-clean any mildew.
Inspect frames, joints, and mounting points for rust, loose bolts, or wear and tear. Address small issues promptly to prevent costly repairs.
For retractable awnings, always roll them in during storms or strong winds to avoid damage.
A professional inspection once a year helps ensure your awnings remain in top condition.
