Good morning all.



Does anyone know if it is possibly to clean Canvas....and if so...how?



The Canvas weave on our trellis is in need of a spring clean after all the rain and I have not got a clue as to how to do it!



Is it possible to take it to a cleaners or has anyone had the same problem and found a solution?



Thanking anyone who can assist.

If it has mould spots, cleaning it won't get rid of those. You can buy special cleaning agents for mould in the UK but not sure here. I took mine down and used detergent and a scrubbing brush - but mind it doesn't shrink!! we had to really stretch ours while it was wet to get it back up!!!
