How to clean second-level awnings?

Hi,

Just moved in to a 2 storey house. We have few awnings on the second level (too high to access from the lower level). Those are pretty dirty and green algea are present.

If anyone knows some magic to clean those :smile:

Thanks so much.

Re: cleaning green on awnings

Hi @yannrandri,

 

It looks like the awnings are pretty high up, so it might be best to hire a tradesperson who can safely clean them using an extension lance and high-pressure cleaner. This will help remove the green algae effectively.

 

Once they're cleaned, you can maintain them by using an exterior cleaning solution with an extension pole and brush to do periodic touch-ups yourself. 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

It is what I feared but I think it is the safest option.

Thanks so much
