cleaning of swag
To obtain the maximum life from your swag and retain your warranty* the following points should be noted:
• Remove the mattress and thoroughly wet down your new canvas prior to use to ensure the sealing of all seams. Silicon spray can be used only on seams and thread if wet down is not practical.
• Ensure that the canvas is thoroughly dry before rolling up your swag or stowing it away.
• Keep fabric clean by brushing regularly, both inside and out with a soft brush and by hosing occasionally with clear, cold
water, starting at the lower edge of the fabric working upwards.
• Do not apply soaps, detergents, cleaning fluids or insecticides.
• Keep petrol, diesel, oil, solvents, kerosene and other similar fluids away from fabric.
• Do not allow bird droppings, earth, sand or vegetable matter to remain in contact with fabric.
• Should mildew spots appear, brush them off before they become attached.
• Canvas which has been cleaned extensively or exposed to products mentioned above may require re-proofing.
• We recommend using Bradmill Mildew and Waterproofing Compound for re-treating canvas material.

Good post Bazza
Gee, last century when I was a
young bloke, when we came in from the scrub, our old foreman used to make all us
young blokes take our swags to the wash bay, stand them in the corner and hose the billy 'o' out of them, that's how we looked after ours . . . lol
