Black Mould Stain on Jayco Eagle Canvas

Fiona,

Have a read of this very informative thread.



Cheers Kev

Hi Fiona,
Bleach is diluted chlorine, I have used chlorine on canvas many times (successfully). Have used it on,the vinyl sides of my Jayco poptop,suggest you try on an area not readily visible. No need to hose off as long as you rinse off with clean water.

Hi, I have a Jayco finch outback 2000 and had a bad mould stain on the roof of one bed-end. The only way to get rid of mould is to kill it, washing with soap and water won't help. I sprayed on exit-mould, left it for 5 min. and then sprayed with water and wiped with a rag. It completely dissapeared and didn't harm the canvas. Remember that the canvas has a rubber coating on the outside so there is no problem with waterproofing.

Have you tried steam from the kettle! that should kill the spores.

Another mould kill/remover is vinegar (white) and you can get the dilution rate off google.

Enviro friendly, I use it on my vinyl annexe with success.

We have used stuff called 30 seconds from Bunnings with great success.

I just rinse off with lots of water

Just means you will need t mop up inside

I use a product called "Magic Eraser" made by Chux. Available in most supermarkets where you get cleaning cloths. It is like a white sponge with a blue sponge backing . You dampen the while sponge slightly and clean using the white side . Just do small areas around a 6" circle lightly squeeze out the sponge and then use the blue side to remove excess moisture from your work. I then dry with an bath towel
