T&T: Canvas Cleaning

[Bob McLeran]

That's exactly what our canvas guy told us about cleaning Sunbrella. Use 
only a small bit of biodegradable soap and a lot of water. Absolutely no 
bleach or other harsh detergents/cleaners.

Works not only on Sunbrella, but also on the fabric used for window 
coverings. Clean them about once a year on a flat surface (the dock 
works well) with a soft brush.
