Just looking for some advice in cleaning mould off that has built up on the canvas ends. We lived in van for 3 months in North Queensland, lots F rain and humidity was high resulting in significant mould damage on the canvas. Cautious on what cleaning product/s to use and resulting damage to waterproofing. Thank you

Warm soapy water with vinegar (white) scrub it off, give good rinse and dry fully, it will possibly still have mould stain, make sure its properly dry then spray the canvas with waterproofing that is used on drizabone coats etc, saddle shops have the stuff at decent price in decent sized spray bottles (not aerosol) give the canvas a good soak inside and out......if canvas has had damp mould for a long time then it may be rotted........

Bunnings sell ‘30 second mould remover’ spray
...it’s brilliant!!!
I’ve used it..it hasn’t taken out the colour, but make sure when the mould disappears you rinse it down with clean water and allow to dry completely!!
White ‘fermented’ vinegar sprayed lightly over cleaned canvas and allowed to dry will help the mould returning!!
