Cleaning Stubborn Stains
Soak fabric for approximately twenty minutes in
a mild solution consisting of no more than 1/2
cup (4 oz.) of bleach and 1/4 cup (2 oz.) of natural
soap per gallon of lukewarm water (not to exceed
100° F / 38° C).
Rinse thoroughly in cold water several times. Allow
the fabric to air dry completely.
Retreat the fabric using an air curing product such
as 303 High Tech Fabric Guard to ensure water and
stain repellency.
All canvas should be stored flat or rolled in a clean,
dry space.
Maintaining Zippers and Hardware
Lubricate zippers and fasteners periodically with a
clear silicone spray. In the absence of silicone spray, a
wax candle can be used to lubricate the zipper track.
Replace any missing fasteners or any fasteners
showing signs of corrosion.
NOTICE
Failure to remove all of the soap solution can
cause deterioration of seams and prevent fabric
from proper retreating.
NOTICE
DO NOT use petroleum based products, such
as petroleum jelly, on the zippers or fasteners.
