Remember the fabric has a coating on it. Do not use pressure washing on fabric, it will tear or damage the fabric. You can clean lightly soiled fabric with a mild solution of soap and water.  Use a long scrub brush on the exposed part of the fabric “Roller tube” under the awning at the back.   The exposed visual part of the fabric on the roller tube is actually the top of the fabric as it rolls out. Clean the 6” exposed part on the roller tube and then extend the awning a few inches and repeat until the entire fabric is clean. After cleaning, let the fabric thoroughly dry before retracting the awning.
