Put 'pop top canvas' into the search box up at the top.

There's a ton of advice. It's been covered loads of times.

Mine was bad last year after storage. I used Dettol Mould and Mildew Remover, having wiped off the surface black residue. I left the spray to dry out - it doesn't seem to have damaged the fabric and hasn't bleached it either, but has removed most of the 'spotting". I then reproofed the exterior with 303 Fabric Guard - as recommended on here somewhere. All good so far. Not perfect, but better than I expected.

Thats great, but I’m looking for solutions tor mould on canvas and the first six or seven search results are exactly like this - telling me to search ! This is making a quick search unnecessarily long. Could we either remove these dead-end posts, or just allow members to discuss the subject anew ? I would imagine there will always be the possibility of new solutions to old problems ?
My bad.

Removing 'dead-end' pop-top mould posts is certainly possible, but the next time you're looking for advice on a different subject it's quite likely you'll find lots of different dead-end posts there too.

We can't really remove everything that isn't relevant to what you want.

And as far as not allowing members to discuss this (or any other) subject anew, of course you can.

Go for it.

There's no such thing as too much information on here.

Still, I'm glad you got the help you needed in the end

This comment is not leveled at the OP Tony Boxall but at the comments made by a new member who would rather spend their time criticising the forum search engine than using it to its true advantage.
There is a huge amount of advice regarding mould on a pop top but some people are not happy with members own experiences and comments.
