You can also use a mixture of bleach and TSP (Tri Sodium Phosphate). The TSP is available in the paint department of Lowes or Home Depot.

Try "Amazing Ausome Orange" available at Dollar Store for $1.00. Either full strength, or in water.

I buy Greased Lightening in a 5 gallon container from Lowes ( cheap too 27.00 for the 5 gallons and you have a great container after). I use it in a 1 gallong pump sprayer to clean awning and camper as it removes everything from the awning and black streaks as well of course with a scrub with a car wash brush. I follow with a light wash with car wash soap and rinse well. Then apply Armor All to both sides of fabric.

If you use bleach on a vinyl awning it will remove the "plasticizers" that keep it pliable.
It will become brittle and you will get cracks in it.
1/2 cup of Simple Green and 1/2 cup of All "Free" in a gallon of water and a stiff scrub brush will clean the awning very nicely.
