SUNWORKERWarranty and Care

CLEANING GUIDEDickson fabrics have all the necessary characteristics for inside and outside use and you should not encounter any specific problems if you respect the following recommendations :

• For awnings, the system should be positioned in such a way that there is perfect tension of the fabric with no rubbing. This tension will avoid the forming of pockets of water in the event of rain.

• In the rain, the blind or awning can be used but avoid retracting or rolling it up when damp and leaving if for a long period of time. If for different reasons, you had no choice, let it out within 48 hours if possible to allow it to dry.

• Respect the wind classes given by your blind or awning manufacturer.
