With the arrival of spring, temperatures rise, the days get longer and you want to enjoy the outdoors more. However, it is also the time when pollen and other allergens are most present in the air, affecting millions of people with respiratory sensitivities or allergies. These microscopic agents are easily deposited on the exterior surfaces of our home, turning them into foci that aggravate allergic symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes or nasal congestion. The awning acts as a barrier against the sun, but it can also accumulate polluting or harmful particles from the air. If it is not cleaned regularly, that buildup not only affects the aesthetics of the awning, but also the air quality on your terrace, balcony or garden.

Keeping the awning clean reduces exposure to these allergens, improves environmental hygiene and extends the life of the fabric.

Practical tips for cleaning your awning:

  1. Regular brushing: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush to prevent dust and pollen from embedding in the fabric.

  2. Cleaning with water and neutral soap: Use a gentle blend to remove stains without damaging the fabric.

  3. Avoid aggressive products: Abrasive detergents can deteriorate the fabric.

  4. Complete drying: Make sure the awning is completely dry before picking it up to avoid mold or bad odors.

What if you didn’t have to worry about any of this?

At Sauleda we have developed GREEN, a revolutionary self-cleaning fabric that harnesses sunlight to keep you clean effortlessly. Its technology is based on photocatalysis, a natural process by which, when light falls on the fabric, a chemical reaction is activated that decomposes the organic matter that has been deposited on it, such as pollen, dust or pollutants.

This reaction converts pollutant particles into non-harmful compounds, such as water vapor and other harmless substances. The result is an awning that stays clean longer, without the need for constant maintenance and with a purifying effect on the air around it.

Advantages of GREEN by Sauleda fabric:

  • Improves air quality: Reduces the concentration of allergens and pollutants.

  • Clean: GREEN by Sauleda stays clean by breaking down harmful particles and dirt before it sticks.

  • Increased durability and aesthetics: Less dirt means less wear and tear and an awning that looks like new for longer.

  • Commitment to sustainability: An ecological, efficient and environmentally friendly solution.

This spring, take care of your health and your spaces without complications. With GREEN by Sauleda, enjoy a clean, beautiful awning that takes care of you, without you having to lift a finger.
