How do I clean and store a solar cover to make it last?

Rinse it with a hose every few weeks; use a mild bleach solution and soft brush for heavy dirt. Never use a pressure washer. Dry it flat before storing if possible, but rolling it wet is fine. Always carry it or use a reel to avoid dragging it on concrete. Store out of direct sun in a garage, shed, or under a tarp. Done right, it’ll last two to four years.
