Cleaning Bird Stuff off canvas

I've just cleaned our camper trailer tent with a soft bruch and running water and plenty elbow grease. I didn't use any cleaning stuff to hopefully protect the waterproofing.

Yes
People are correct soaps do often upset waterproofing however the acid in the bird *#$% will in the long run do more damage my suggestion is use a MILD detergent water mix and a soft brush like one from a dustpan then check how it has affected your waterproofing and rewaterproof. If your mix is mild it should not affect it too much however where the bird stuff has been it may have been affected.

I found that if you blow really gently that the feathers just sort of float away..

I've just cleaned ours after the trip. Got the bird cr@p off OK using water spray and gentle rubbing with a cloth, but the tree sap and ground in red dust in a couple of areas is a different story. I think I'll be accepting it as part of the character of the CT.

i used vinegar on my boat canvas and it worked a treat

If I may slightly hijack this thread, can anyone recomend anything to get cat urine off canvas...??? Had the spare bedroom hanging in the garage after washing it thoroughly and the bloody cat from across the road decided to take a leak on it...

I reckomend the use of lead for all cat problems :-)
