I close mine up every night while it is dry. We put ours away for the winter. Easy to do. I should tell you, one of the cables broke shortly after we put it up. Amazon not Aleko Paid For The replacement.

We have the same type of material for our horse trailer awning. It's ok to roll it up wet for a couple of days, but it will mold if there is dirt or organic material left on the awning. The big thing is to make sure it's clean before rolling it up. If it's rolled up dry and is exposed to cold, rain and snow it'll probably be ok for a couple of months before you have to roll it out again and check it. Mold has a hard time attaching itself to synthetics. If the awning is clean you'll likely have no trouble. If you do get mold, hydrogen peroxide is a safe agent to clean with if Dawn doesn't get it out with simple washing. We have the same type of material for our horse trailer awning.

Mine is just fine...I live in California and the weather is warm then it's cold...In the instructions, it says to change the water every 3 days...so i clean the container and add fresh water every 3-4 days and that keeps the mold from growing...hope this idea works for you...

The UV just stayed on with mine. Here's some great advice, if your place gets cold and you leave your place for the winter, just take the whole ispring with you don't leave it there.

First off I do not know the conditions of the environment in which you intend on using your cord in. I would not recommend using the cord while its raining and I would not recommend using the cord if the cord is going to be submerged under any length of water. However if it had just stopped raining or if it's early in the morning dew on the ground it should be fine as long as the cord is in good condition and you're using good judgement. Extend the cord between the two points first and then plug it in. Make sure before you put the cord away that you unplug it from the source of electricity first.

It clearly says it on there not to leave it out. But I have no where to store it so I have left it out for 5 months, but I also live in California where we have no seasons. I am sure for the price you pay, you probably want it to last so keep it in the garage :)

The short answer is yes. If like me you have repeated fungal issues, season after season, then it's going to be necessary. A light rain - maybe you can skip one application. But after sustained rains then absolutley, yes.

you shouldn't have to...but if need be spot clean it. don't put it in the washer or flood it with water if u want it to be nice again

I can't be sure, but I've only had one time the stick came out by itself. You probably need to run warm or hot water over the mold more to loosen it. I always do that anyway, but sometimes it take more than what I normally do.

Never had that problem. It's simple. Just before removing the mold, run it under warm water at the faucet. It should slide right out.

I have used Monei Tiare often. I have never seen it rot or mold. Like any oil you can keep it in the cold. I live in the South Florida area, therefore I keep it in the refrigerator! Hope this will help you out!. Kiki

Yes. In fact as i understand it, it is not advisable to leave the mask on after a rain. Since the mask fits tightly, water will not evaporate quickly and can damage the clear coat ( oxidation?).So in addition to allowing the mask to dry it is also advisable to keep a high quality wax on the car. I haven't found this to be an issue since it takes little time to take the mask on and off.If you are wondering about washing the mask itself, this is not necessary as long as you inspect it for bits of grit that can accumulateunder it and act like sandpaper ! Just use a vinyl protectant like nu-vinyl . Hope i addressed you question since i wasn't sure what you were washing ;-) Yes.

Yes,you can leave it out in the rain on, works fine. But you should put it away for winter before it freezes.

You can leave it out. It dissappears quickly if put in the water stream I.e. Shower. I usually rub it in my hands then use my hands to rub it around. Or on a washcloth.

It depends on temp and humidity. IMHO waiting too long is worse then removing early. When too dry it's hard and takes a lot too remove. Too early and you're just moving it around. You'll know as you start removing it if you have to wait a little longer. Typical 80 degree day, I'd say less than an hour. Obtw I would not put on in direct sun unless I worked small sections at a time.

Either throw it away or return it to bed and bath. Their return policy is awesome. It is not supposed to get mouldy as the liers say on the tv ad. I tried to spray it with bleach but wasn't successful!

How long it lasts depends on how much moisture. I keep one in my car because I have a leak in my car and it rains a lot where I leave. Nice and dry inside until used up. About 4 months in the winter. You know it is used up when there aren't any more loose crystals. Pick up the tub and turn it sideways. If no movement in the bottom of the tub, replace it.

The underside of the gutter rarely gets wet in the rain. The idea of Spay and Forget is to simply spray it on and the elements will wash the residue off. For a place like gutters, you may have to hose it off after a while to wash the residue away. Will it kill the mold and mildew? Yes!
