Hi
I have just spent about 2 hours clearing the underside of my pop top roof, using a water / sterilising solution (50:50) using a toothbrush. It was a slow process, but it does work.

However, there is also mould on the canvas sides but of course, if I use the same solution, there's likely to be a bleaching effect, which I obviously don't want. Who wants grey sides, with white runs.

Is there a good way to remove mould from a grey canvas fabric, without any 'bleaching effect'

thank you

Dettol spray? Or a solution made using a biological wash like Aerial? I’ve also used anti bac wet wipes on material, albeit not on pop top roof canvas & only for small areas.
