Hi we have just brought ourselves a jayco hawk pop top.
well it says its a hawk on the paper work but it has waht looks like a dove on the van itself ??
Anyway we are wanting to clean the canvas it is very dirty and has mould stains on it. I understand that the mold stains are there to stay but the rest is just very grubby inside and out. Has anyone go any suggestions on how to clean the canvas ? and will i need to recoat with a water repellant after i cleaning. I have read loads of posts and people are saying to use bleach and clod water ? i'm a bit worried about using the bleach .. The van looks great other than the canvas i hope some one out there can give us some advise.
cheers thanks woodsa

thread 54080 as the answers were written buy a guy with many years experience in the industry. Bleach is the right thing to use on mould; if you read the thread it will even tell you how much to use etc.
I followed his advice and it worked wonders on our camper.

thaks heaps for your replies. I have looked at the links you both have offered. I found heaps of info from some of the threads but nothing really directly dealing with cleaning canvas. I will keep looking as i am also going to redo the inside walls . they are very dirty and in need of a sand back and a new white wash. thakyou though and i have heaps of thread surching to do ! cheers guys jayne (woodsa)
