Mold In a Popup Camper |
|
|
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!

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?

I use "Microband". It cleans and keeps it off and very safe. Just google it.

I use a warm water & Ivory soap solution on the canvas. Seems to work very well.

RE: Mold In a Popup Camper
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.
Here are a couple of links to some great sites with very good info especially for pop up campers: http://www.popupportal.com/ and http://www.popupexplorer.com/ .
Good luck and happy camping!
Michelle
