To clean canvas material, or something like a canvas couch, start with pretreatment. Some canvas bags and other canvas items will lose stiffness and structure when laundered. To prevent changes in the material or construction, we recommend spot treating.
To spot treat, wet the Wash & Stain Bar and gently work into the stained area(s).
Remove soap and dirt with a wet Lint-Free Cleaning Cloth - be sure to remove all soap. Dampen the cloth as needed, and repeat the process until satisfied.
Skip to the Dry & Finish step, and continue by steaming.
When washing, always pretreat stains with Stain Solution or the Wash & Stain Bar.
Stain Solution is ideal for protein and tannin stains, such as wine, coffee, ink, grass, urine, blood, and old, set-in stains.
The Wash & Stain Bar works the material to remove dirt, grease, oil, and makeup.
To remove odor, presoak the item for 30 minutes in hot water mixed with 1/4 cup of Scented Vinegar.
