Shade sails have become a popular way to provide protection from the elements in outdoor areas and it is now common to see them in large numbers at retail centres to provide cover over shopping strips and seated dining areas.

These heavy-duty commercial shade sails are a great way to provide protection from not only UV rays, but also from rain.

Commercial grade shade sails are usually produced from a high-density polyethylene material, which is ideal for use in harsh environments as it can withstand all kinds of exposure to temperature changes and water.

However, over time these can become very dirty and covered in build up from dust, grime and even bird faeces.

Therefore, it is highly recommended that periodic cleaning on the shade sails to help maintain their appearance and ensure longevity. Not to mention help the facility to stay looking good to all visitors to the site.

Depending on the overall location and type of installation, the process for cleaning commercial shade sails can vary.

In some cases, it is best to clean them by first removing the sails and lying them out on a flat surface, free from objects which could tear the material. The shade sails can then be treated with a suitable cleaning solution to remove any heavy grime or stains, then rinsed with a moderate pressure cleaner.

It may be possible to perform this process with the shade sails still in place if access to them permits and there is no risk of damage to other structures.

Yet another option may be to use a soft wash treatment, which would allow for the sails to be cleaned without removing and also not require the use of any access equipment as the soft wash solution can usually be applied from the ground.
