Reading through responses, I think it's important to identify some SIGNIFICANT differences in "then" and "now"....

Just a few years ago, awnings were made of cotton canvas and sewn with cotton thread. Then along came polyester and "poly-cotton" awning fabric and polyester thread. Then along came acrylic awning fabric and nylon thread and now vinyl coated fabric and synthetic thread..... Clorox wasn't "the best" on some older awning fabrics.....

There are some very different products in the "evolution of the RV awning" and many of those "don't use bleach" stories are likely dated around the time of cotton canvas or poly-cotton awnings. So, not only "verify the article's validity" but also "remember to look at WHEN it was written"......

Reminds me of an old saying that I still use: "REAL aeroplanes have propedders and smash bugs" Times have changed, so have awnings (and aeroplanes).....
