I use various products to clean mold stains in a pop up camper . This is not a promotional video for any product - I just tried different products until I cleaned the mold and stains .

After 11 months how did the canvas hold up with the clorox cleaning?

[@backyardmech]

Sorry for the late reply , but the usual camping events i go to were cancelled due to Covid . Last weekend i took the trailer to a 4 day music festival and set it up for the first time this season . It was in the exact same condition as at the end of the video with no mold . It rained a full day and i had no leaks ; however i did spray it with waterproofing after i cleaned the mold (the link to that video is below this vid). Hope that helps Mike !

@@backyardmech Have a 1988 pop up that could use a good cleaning and was quite interested how the bleach cleaning came out. Thank you for the video and reply!

[@philb7738]

@@backyardmech I was concerned also with the canvas thinning out from the chemical cleaners.

Thank you 😊

Save you 24 mins ...He resorts to bleach. No report on canvas integrity months later. You are welcome!

Thank you for the video. I'm having a horrible time trying to clean our pop up. It was very helpful.

[@lenreadshaw9964]

Really like the common sense way you did the job and enjoyed your commentary. I have the exact same problem you had, a used trailer I bought with the mold cleaned by the person I purhased from, I wanted to do a better job and used several cleaning products and methods. The results were not as good as yours (although acceptable) encouraging me to give it another go. Thanks for the video

[@backyardmech]

Glad to hear it - thanks for commenting Len !

[@shereemuchow6824]

Exactly what I used on my popup- since I retreat the waterproofing every year I wasn’t concerned about washing it off.

[@krissarver3387]

I've had really great success removing mildew stains from canvas with a borax water combination on a bright sunny day. Sun bleaching does wonders combined with the borax

[@aurorawibrianne3463]

Hello..may I know how to make it? I am looking for some tutorial with vorax water but haven't find any

[@scottfirman]

As you stated, its an older camper and you couldn't really hurt it beyond what was already damaged. Looked fine to me!

[@jbrooks8885]

Get yourself some miracle mist, your pop up will look brand new with little effort. Just rinse it down good with water and sponge afterwards. I've use it on my pop up for years never had a problem with it

[@majesticcleaningandorganiz5918]

Yes bc this was too long, unnecessary, and exhausting. The amount of filth, dirt, mold, etc inside of that camper holds some severe germs, bacteria, & agents to get him sick. Use miracle mist and it works excellent. It will kill and eat thru all the filth inside that camper. I need a drink now.

[@andreafreeman6396]

Can you link or describe the type of miracle mist you use? I’m interested in buying the correct one since it looks like they have a couple different versions Thanks!

50:1 50 parts water 1 part Chlorine mix can be left on between 10 to 20 minutes and rinse with clean water. after dry in open air area if possible (less chance of burning the fabric and/or sewing thread at sems

[@whty541]

Is the fabric in this like tent material? Mine feels like in inside is fabric and the outside is a vinyl. I have a couple stains in mine I would like to try and clean but I keep seeing that it would need to waterproofed and I'm not sure if we have the same material.

[@mitchellwintercat]

What if you sprayed w diluted vinagar to inhibit mold and then spray paint?

[@backyardmech]

Sorry if i didn't respond to some questions - I get caught up in the fun of making new videos ! Update - I waterproofed the outside as in this video ; I didn't waterproof the inside at all - 2 years and lots of camping since - no leaks ! : kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnjEeqefo7drbqs

[@scottfirman]

We have light dirt stains on ours. I fully intend to use an extractor to clean mine. If used with clean water, an extractor like a green machine will pull out 90% or more of the stuff and using water only in the machine rinses the chemical out and then wipe with a clean dry towel. I have had great luck using an extractor for many uses.

[@worldarts5284]

I watched your video about how to clean mold off a pop-up camper canvas. You use the three different products. Are you seeing you liked using the mirage 2000 for everything and then you went after you finished mirage 2000 you use the Clorox.? Or did you find out that just using the Clorox is the best way to go.

[@FioreFamilyFun]

So what are we using since you use so many different things and I need to clean mine this weekend for Canada Day long weekend

[@andresvelasco2476]

cheaper to use diluted vineger with water and rinse, diluted chlorine with water after and rinse, then nano seal kit for rain proofing just in case you peeled off some scotch guard rain guard... a pressurized bug spray can does better both on applying and rinsing without too much pressure faster & easier both inside and out

[@heatherasplund6348]

just got one today. same issue followed your steps and resorted to the corox clean up. Do I need to re-waterproof the inside?

[@backyardmech]

I waterproofed the outside as in this video Heather ; I didn't waterproof the inside at all - 2 years and lots of camping since - no leaks ! : kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnjEeqefo7drbqs

[@stetsonspurs4680]

I thought about using a stream cleaner for mine. I think that should clean it pretty well. I just don't know what effects it will have on the material.

[@robertsimmen6604]

I just read about cleaning Sunbrella fabric and it said not to use a steam

[@mattklingensmith4001]

I am using a product called miracle mist. I bought it at menards for $6.00 u.s. This stuff is cleaning mold and mildew out of my colman camper with little to no scrubbing. I will definitely recommend this product for the price and quality.

[@dawnmccoy4089]

Does that work on the inside canvas?

[@justinhertz2447]

Miracle Mist cleaned our canvas but left yellow stains on the canvas.

[@markamparan7918]

Didn't work for me.

[@jameshine7840]

My man, I think you better go back to the drawing board for real! 😂

Clorox Cleanup is the best. Spray it, leave it for a bit, come back, and everything is white. I use it frequently in my bathroom.

[@susanrichardson8516]

Clorox will eat canvas

[@VictoriaNakaraKizer]

Susan Richardson I have not had to use anything on my Kodiac Canvas as of yet, but as an absolute last case scenario before throwing it out, I too would resort to Clorox Cleanup as a last ditch effort, if it was in the condition that this guys tent appears to be. What do you use?

[@rachealrock3638]

That also eats holes

[@VictoriaNakaraKizer]

R R I amsure it eventually will, but as stated, it would be a ladt resort, and if it was in the condition as the one in the vid. Mine is not like this yet. Hopefully never will be.

[@randywilson6869]

What caused it in the first place

[@SuperCyril2]

He probably put the camper away wet. Not a good idea.

To much of not enough

Has anyone every tried to use a steamer with a vacuum attachment? After spraying the mildew solution

[@MrMedellinusa1]

Sodium hypochlorite and soap Leave it for 20 minutes that's all you need

[@rocknral]

What % of sodium hypochlorite?
