Rinse good then lay outside with the folds not real tight (so they will hold their shape) and allow to dry. Spot cleaning will only clean the spot and leave a stain ring at the spots edge.

To do a thorough cleaning - it down, soak in tube, rinse, blot out excess water, and air dry in the heat of the sun if possible. If needs be you can use a very soft brush or sponge to wipe stain. If you can't take down the shade -- try blotting with a damp rag or sponge with plain water or a very weak solution of detergent. A lot of people like Oxyclean for the shades. 2002 Tiffin Phaeton 2005 Malibu Max toad GSF • View posts full-timing in North America Senior Member Joined: 06/04/2004 View Profile Posted: 10/28/09 02:06pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I spray Woolite "Oxy Deep" carpet cleaner on the spots on my shades and the spots disappear by themselves. I use the same stuff on the condensation stains I occassionally get on the windshield drapes. The stains magically disappear - great stuff! The only other cleaning that I do to the shades and drapes is to vacuum them with a brush attachment regularly.

They are 5 years old and it didn't leave a "clean" stain.
