Q AWNING-CLEANING SOLUTIONS

A quick question – can I use washing-up liquid to clean my awning?

Brian King

Joanna Davies replies...

If your awning just needs a light, spot clean – to remove dust, bird droppings, or general grime – a small amount of mild washing-up liquid mixed with lots of water should be okay. Always rinse thoroughly to remove any soapy residue, as leftover detergent can attract dirt and cause streaking.

Frequent use of washing-up liquid can break down the awning’s waterproof coating over time; it’s best to use a cleaner specifically made for awnings or tents.

Q SLOW COOKING, BUT NOT THAT SLOW!

We’ve just bought our first tourer and are finding the oven is taking a while to cook things. Do you have any tips?
