Does anyone know how to get mold/mildew off the canvas surrounds on a camper?
We've tried bleach, vinegar, and some stuff recommended by the dealer. Nothing has worked.

Read the reviews. People have used it on canvas.

I use this stuff too. It does leave a bit of a "turpentiney" smell, however. Works great.

I used a bleach solution on mildewed canvas. It took several treatments, and I left the bag out in the sun for days. It only worked so-so, although the bag is a million times better than it was. Next time I'll try the Starbrite stuff.
