Drag the cover out to the driveway
Hose it off, gently scrub clean (I don't use soap)
let it dry completely
fold up and store in bag
Unscrew and Remove all anchors
Clean any dirt/soil off the anchors
vacuum out all anchor sleeves
generously coat the anchors/sleeve threads with the solid silicon lube (the same stuff for the pool plumbing o-rings)
screw the anchors completwly down
wipe off excess lube
I used to have a problem with stubborn anchors and have had to use PB Blaster to get them loose but never since I started with the silicon lube application.
