Tent Cleaning
« on: September 17, 2006, 09:53:01 pm »
Would it be possible to clean canvas tents using HWE?

Obviously, the fabric would need re-waterproofing with fablon after cleaning but can anyone see a problem with using HWE to clean?

I think there may be a be a bit of an untapped market, especially at this time of year and also in the spring. No-one likes a tent that smells a bit mouldy.

Yeah I put my hand to alsorts, not only tents but the big umbrellas, canopys all sorts of canvas, pre spray aggitate a lot and extract, Ive extracted with detergent with oxi bright which slowly bleaches back the colour but watch for runs dri master tool is ideal, but never expect amazing results sometimes almost none this is when I use the O/B
