I have a popup camper that has been closed up for a while and after opening it up I see lots of mold and mildew on the canvas. It is a newer camper with the blue and white canvas, I want to clean it up and need help in finding the right cleaner to make it look nice again.
Thank you for your time! Max from Bent Mountain VA
We have tried EVERYTHING for popup tents canvas!There is mold spots and just plain dirt,What can we do with out going to those high priced stores for some solution that I believe can be made at home,bought cheaper or already have as a common cleaning product? Help we need it PLEASE?!
I used tilex on the outside of my hard top. Is this ok or too hard on the canvas. I have black mold on the inside. Is there a way to totally remove it?
Hello, Max, from a fellow pop up camper owner. First of all, you don't mention the brand of pop up camper you have but generally you want to be VERY careful about what you clean your canvas with. Any type of bleach and/or strong cleansers can seriously damage the water proofing of your pop up's canvas, thus potentially causing some very wet camping experiences. From what I have learned, most manufacturers recommend a very solution of very mild soap and water. The best thing to do would be to check in your owner's manual or call the manufacturer directly.
In the future, the best way to prevent mold or mildew, as you probably already know is to make sure your pop up's canvas is completely dry before closing it up. Also, I believe there are some products that you can buy to place in your camper when you're not using it that will also help reduce the risk of mold and mildew, such as Sta-Dri which can be found at RV supply stores.
