Awning & Shade Sail Cleaning Gold Coast
Restore your outdoor shade structures and extend their lifespan with the right cleaning method for the material.
Whether it's a fabric shade sail, a solid aluminium patio cover, or a polycarbonate awning, your outdoor shade structures cop the full force of the Gold Coast climate. Mould, dirt, and environmental grime build up fast, making your entertaining areas look neglected. We match the cleaning method to the material—low-pressure soft washing for fabric, and appropriate pressure cleaning for solid surfaces—so everything gets clean without getting damaged.
Is your awning covered in mould, grime, or green algae?
Outdoor awnings and shade sails sit in the worst possible conditions—constant UV, humidity, and moisture that never fully dries. Fabric sails develop embedded mould that breaks down fibres over time. Solid awnings collect layers of dirt, bird droppings, and organic growth that block light and look terrible from underneath. Leaving it only makes the problem worse, but using the wrong cleaning method can cause permanent damage. You need an approach that's tailored to what you've actually got installed.
The Right Method for Every Awning Type
Not all awnings are created equal, and they definitely can't all be cleaned the same way. Fabric shade sails need low-pressure soft washing—applying cleaning solutions that kill mould at the root, then gently rinsing without stressing the weave or stripping protective coatings. Solid awnings like aluminium, Colorbond, timber or polycarbonate can handle more pressure, but still need care to avoid scratching or forcing water into joins. We assess what you've got and clean it accordingly.
Our Approach
Material Assessment — We identify the awning type and condition to determine the safest and most effective cleaning method.
Cleaning Solution Application — A specialised mix is applied to break down mould, algae, and environmental build-up on the surface.
Method-Matched Cleaning — Fabric gets low-pressure soft washing; solid surfaces get the right combination of soft washing and pressure cleaning to ensure no damage.
Thorough Rinse — All residue is rinsed away, leaving your awning clean and your outdoor area ready to use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your frequently asked awning and shade sail cleaning questions
Will cleaning damage my shade sail fabric?
Not with our method. We use low-pressure soft washing for fabric specifically because high pressure will damage it. Our approach cleans the material without stressing the weave or stripping protective coatings.
Can you clean awnings while they're still installed?
Yes. We clean both fabric and solid awnings in place wherever possible. If access is difficult or something needs to come down, we'll discuss that with you beforehand.
How often should I have my awnings cleaned?
On the Gold Coast, we recommend cleaning awnings every 12 to 24 months depending on exposure. Shade structures under trees or in areas that stay damp will need more frequent attention.
