HI ALL Newbie to trailer world need help

[wheels59]

Bought a older but nice toy hauler. Its a 20' hybrid with front pop out type sleeping area. The question, best way to clean mold from canvas/vinyl from that front part, not real bad. Light brown, assuming mold. THANK YOU
PS Was told to stay away from bleach......

Oxiclean works real well.

I used to used a 4:1 water to bleach solution to clean mold my old tent. Just rinse good after. Put it in a spray bottle, spray an area, give it a few minutes then agitate with a brush then rinse. Should get if off.

You just want to make sure for the future that when you get home after a wet camping trip you pop out the canvas area and let it dry out in the sun thoroughly. Mold hates light.

Bleach and other mold killers won't hurt it as long as you rinse it off thoroughly, like with a hose.

After the winter I usually get some stuff growing on my awning. I've heard both of these products come recommended, Mold Armor or Tilex Mold & Mildew.

Mold is usually black. Try some mild cleaner, like a squirt bottle of Simple Green. It may be easier to deal with it raised. A giid stiff brush also helps. A squirt bottle rinse would be good.

About the only thing that will get rid mold is bleach. You just need to be careful how strong your bleach solution and make sure you rinse it well.

I use Clorox CleanUp for a lot of things but I would cut it about 4 to 1 to start and see how it works. Mold normally will wipe right off with that stuff. If not, go to 2 to 1. The vinyl coated canvas is pretty tough.
