Removing mold from canopy

[frothblower]

Hi all,

Can anyone suggest from experience the best product / method for removing heavy mold from the inside of a fabric canopy?

Patio Magic. Dilute as per instructions. Put on when wet, brush to foam, leave to dry - it will turn black and blow / easily brush off after 1-2 weeks.

Be careful not to release into the environment.

I use my jet wash and then when dry use scotch guard spray
seems to do the trick.

Definitely don't pressure wash. I looked into cleaning my cover years ago and was told by a number of cover makers never jet wash as this splits and opens up the fibres within the canvas.

Contrary to that, my Canvas supplier recommended pressure washing but he was very specific that it has to be a low powered pressure washer, the nozzle at right angles and keep it moving on the canvas. So, in my experience of 20+ years I have never had issues with pressure washing my canvas or any stitching failing. I first apply a Canvas cleaner then pressure wash and then treat with Fabsil Gold.

Seems different cover makers have different views.

I have also heard Wet and Forget is excellent but never used myself to be fair.
