I pulled out my canvas top to my party barge and and opeded it up to realize I must have stored it wet or it got wet because I now have several black stains on it. I have used carpet cleaner but it did not do very well. I afraid to use bleach or something like that because of the blue color of the top. What do I do now? Tim

How about home remedies? Got anything in the closet for this type of mildew stain? Still needing advice. Dont forget it is canvas so I have to avoid taking the color out of the material. Thanks Tim

try a vinegar scrub, but starbrite is good stuff, not too expensive either

My boat covers are canvas. I stored them wet.They mildewed badly. I used Greased Lightening and they look like new. As a matter of fact, I use G.L. on everything in my boat.
