How to clean canvas on a pop up camper?

A friend gave me a 71 pop up camper and the canvas has a real bad musty smell.?

  • What can I use to clean the canvas to get rid of the musty smell? We have to air it out and the smell is still very strong.

  • Answer:

    After washing with laundry soap as suggested, wipe it down with a dilute solution of regular laundry bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite). The bleach will kill the residual mildew that causes the odor. Follow up with a good airing out, of course. Also, never fold it up and store it with wet canvas.

Usually plain old laundry detergent works well and it's safe for all fabrics. Just mix up a batch in a five gallon bucket and use a soft car wash type brush to scrub it down and then rinse with a garden hose on the outside or inside as well. Good Luck!
