Your awning isn't just a piece of fabric or metal hanging over your storefront—it's a billboard for your business. In a city like New York, where first impressions are everything, a dirty awning doesn't just look bad—it costs you foot traffic.
At Powerwash-NYC, we specialize in professional awning cleaning services that keep your exterior sharp, sanitary, and inviting—24/7, 365 days a year.
Why Awning Cleaning Is Essential in New York City
1. Curb Appeal = Walk-In Traffic
NYC is hyper-competitive. Your storefront needs to stand out instantly. A filthy, faded, or algae-covered awning signals neglect—even if your products or services are 5-star quality.
Regular cleaning:
- Preserves the color and vibrancy of printed logos
- Makes your store pop on the block
- Attracts more foot traffic (especially tourists & locals looking for clean, trustworthy places)
2. Awnings Get DIRTY—Fast
With NYC's:
- Black soot from traffic & subways
- Constant bird droppings
- Tree sap & pollen
- Construction dust
…your awning becomes a grime magnet. If not cleaned regularly, it stains permanently, especially fabric canopies.
What Types of Awnings We Clean
We service all types of commercial and residential awnings:
| Awning Type | Common Problems | Our Cleaning Method |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric (canvas, vinyl) | Mold, mildew, discoloration | Low-pressure soft wash + biocide |
| Retractable Awnings | Rust stains, grime buildup | Spot treatment + brush detailing |
| Metal or Aluminum | Oxidation, stains | Degreaser + metal-safe solution |
| Storefront Signage | Bird droppings, city grime | Eco-friendly detergent + rinse |
Our Awning Cleaning Process
Step 1: Inspection
We identify the material and current damage (fading, rust, mold) to use the safest possible cleaning method.
Step 2: Pre-Treatment
Apply commercial-grade, biodegradable cleaner to lift dirt, mold, mildew, and grease.
Step 3: Gentle Wash
Use low-pressure soft washing to remove buildup without damaging the awning. (NEVER high-pressure blast—it tears fabric and strips coatings.)
Step 4: Spot Treatment
We hand-scrub stubborn stains like bird droppings, tree sap, and gum.
Step 5: Final Rinse & Protectant (Optional)
We rinse thoroughly and optionally apply a UV-protective sealant to extend awning life.
