Erm your house? Don't know of anyone who undertakes such work other than the owners of the campers themselves.

I think it was a genuine and sweetly naive request.
I normally get the butler to do it. Doesn't everyone?
does anyone know where in scotland or near fife i can get my tt awning cleaned
It depends upon the material used for the awning roof. If it is canvas I would only go as far as dry removal of the odd bird turd, pine resin and so on. Washing with any soap or detergent can, and probably will, damage the waterproofing. This means having to reproof which is a bore.
If your trailer tent is something pathetic like a Dandy, then just slosh a bucket of water over it!

Now hey! I'll nhave none of that! The manual for a Dandy suggests using Jif/Cif bathroom cream, then polishing with Mr. Sheen (honestly!) I use Muck Off, or Flash liquid when away, followed by silicone spray to put the shine back on. DO NOT TRY THIS ON CANVAS!! Clean waster only for cotton. If you do use anything stronger you'll need to re proof.
I do know that TVS in Bolton will clean your tent and re waterproff it for you if necessary - there is also the Canvas repair company in Staffs that do it too. Bit far for you though - Have you tried a caravan repair centre? - can't imagine caravan owners clean their own awnings
To be fair, there's not much point cleaning most of the tents I've ever owned...
But there are loads of tent cleaning services out there, and mostly they work far better than those rather pathetic awning cleaner liquids which don't do much.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
