Wayne County’s awning cleaning specialistAwning cleaningin Detroit.
Gentle, fabric-safe cleaning for storefront, restaurant and home awnings across Detroit and Wayne County. Mildew, bird mess, rust drips and road grime lifted, not blasted.
Your awning is the first thing customers see.
Kitchen exhaust, traffic film, tree sap and Michigan weather turn a sharp awning gray in a season or two. A dull, streaked awning makes a good business look closed. Replacing fabric is expensive. A proper cleaning brings back the color for a fraction of the cost and helps the fabric last longer.
Roots Pressure Washing makes awnings the specialty, not an add-on. Terry uses low pressure and the right cleaners for each material, so seams, stitching and coatings stay intact.

Awning cleaning FAQ.
Straight answers. Still wondering? Text a photo to (313) 273-8092.
How often should a business awning be cleaned?
Most awning pros recommend every 6 to 12 months. Restaurants, shops on busy roads, and awnings under trees usually need it closer to every 6 months.
Will pressure washing damage my awning?
High pressure can damage fabric and seams, which is why awnings get a gentle, low-pressure cleaning with the right cleaners instead of a blast.
Can you get rid of black mildew spots?
In most cases, yes. Mildew is treated and lifted, not just rinsed. Very old or sun-rotted fabric may be past saving, and we’ll tell you honestly if it is.
What does awning cleaning cost?
It depends on the size, material and how dirty it is. Send a photo and rough measurements with the quote form or by text and Terry will give you a clear price, free.
Do you clean home and patio awnings too?
Yes. Retractable patio awnings, window awnings and porch canopies get the same careful cleaning as commercial awnings.
Do you work around my business hours?
Yes. Early-morning and off-hours visits keep your entrance open for customers. [Confirm hours with Terry]
