HW popup concern

This appears to be a wonderful place to get information about just about everything. My husband I are going into our second season of owning our HW pop up. When we opened it up to start getting it ready for the season we saw some areas of mold and mildew. I haven't seen how to get it off! Any suggestions?
Thanks.

50/50 bleach and water.

Tilex Mold & Mildew works great, Also Clorox Cleanup works on colorfast items. Clorox Cleanup is 1.82% chlorine bleach. I love bleach, but it's wise to start off with the least concentrated mix you can get by with.

If cleaning the canvas... I've always used water and rubbing alcohol.

Here is one such representation...
Cleaning mildew from canvas.

I would be cautious as some chemicals will harm the tent. I would find out what the maker of the tent recommends for cleaning.
