hi a friend of mine has a trailer tent its navy and cream and is full of mould on the cream and blue canvas it was took down wet and left to long can you get anything to remove this with out staining
Bleach? But that would then lighten the canvas and damage it.
TBH, once a canvas tent has a bad case of mould you have two choices...clean off the mould, treat it so it won't return, reproof the canvas and live with the marks. Or get a new canvas. There's nothing that will bring it back up to good as new. Hard lesson to learn, sorry, but that's what happens when you (or your friend) doesn't look after a tent properly.
Hi n6gnrs
Hi have to go along with Val's assessment,but as the canvas is as good as dead You could try some of these tips Here
But I think this guy paints a true picture
Good luck

I had an awning that came in a caravan we bought. It had been bundled up wet shoved in the loo and was rank. On the basis I had nothing to lose I put it in the paddling pool with a hefty dose of biotex washing powder. After three days we put it up and hosed for england then reproofed it with fabsil. It was amazingly ok after all that and we used it for 7 years.

Hi yes agree too- when canvas gets the mould mark it does not go away all you can do is tot reat the mould to stop the spores spreading. A mild Milton solution we found brushed on, left for 5 mins or so then rinsed off very very well- this though removes all the waterproof material SO you have the lobourious job of masking the windows and painting/spraying on some Fabsil to re-proof. Hard work and we havd to do it every year in our folding camper- it was a bind but when you get mould you have had it. CHeck the bedroom inners to see if they have got it oo as they usually do, check the mattresses, check everywhere. I know it is a pain but they should not be left closed up wet- even when we have packed up wet as soon as we got home we opened it up in the back garden and run a blower heater in there. The only other thing if the mould has eaten through the canvas is a complete new canvas........owch! Good luck, Gary
