I did one about 2 years ago.
I washed it first with wfp.
Then opened it up and washed it wfp purewater, no detergents
Then got on the steps and ladders and used  cloths.
Theres a lot of nooks and crannies that would take forever with a brush,also  theres a bit of oil grease on the metal  frame joints.
Took longer than expected as usual,but they were delighted with it.
I think I charged £120.
They weren't regular custies or I might have charged less.
They later got me back to do full conservatory and windows.
P.S Dont do it when its windy,this one had a sensor  on it that made it auto close when it felt a gust.

sod that!i couldnt be bothered myself.if the canvass awnings got big stains on i doubt you ll get them out with wfp.
price higher/work harder!

I done some canopies, used virosol but wasn't great along the bottom, were water gathers will be the worst part which I had to scrub forever to get clean and if honest I think a better chemical would help big time
