Secrets to Canvas Care

HOW TO OBTAIN THE MAX FROM YOUR CAMPERS CANVAS

 

  • Keep the canvas clean by brushing regularly inside & out, with a soft bristle brush & hosing occasionally with cold clean water, starting at the lower edge of the canvas & working upwards.

 

  • Do not apply soaps, detergents, cleaning fluids or insecticides.

 

  • Keep petrol, solvents, kerosene & other similar fluids away from canvas.

 

  • Do not allow bird droppings, earth, sand or vegetable matter to remain in contact with canvas.

 

  • Ensure the canvas is thoroughly dry before packing away.

 

  • Should mould or mildew appear brush off before they become attached.

 

  • Persistent mould or mildew growth should be treated with a purpose made mould & mildew remover in accordance with manufacturers instructions.

 

  • Canvas which has been cleaned extensively may require reproofing with a purpose made reproofing compound.
