canvas awning cleaning
Florida weather and humidity along with regular A/C seepage causes lite green algae(mold) on rollout awning. Any tips on cleaning, without removal, that is also safe for the colors in the fabric?
Can't find a fabric ID tag on canvas. Is this a Sunbrella product?
Tried Tide detergent and lite brushing to some areas and looks better but still has a greenish tinge in the white areas.
Any home remedies out there that might help?

Thanks,

Wow, that sounds too good to be true! You've done this, and it worked? No scrubbing? I was outside today and unrolled my awning because somehow it got wet and I wanted to let it dry. I'm looking at it, seeing some slight mildew build-up and thinking, "that's gonna suck to clean." So tell me that magic potion worked for you first hand!!!

It did work for me. I applied it with a wash brush, rolled up the awning let it soak and opened up and rinsed off. The person camping beside use came over and asked what I had used because the was tired of scrubbing his awning.
