Solutions for cleaning inside of canvas?
I noticed that the inside of my canvas on my X23B has a mold issue.
I have tried various cleaners, not really working.
Anyone got a new idea?

No I haven’t. I was concerned about the bleach damaging the canvas.
I will have to try it .

Try a 10% solution. It shouldn’t hurt anything and will be strong enough to kill the mold

To kill mold spores and their roots, pour straight 3 percent peroxide (H2O2), undiluted, into a spray bottle and saturate the blocks with it. Let the H2O2 do its work for 10 to 15 minutes, and scrub the walls to remove all dead mold. You can add vinegar to the H2O2 in the spray bottle to make the solution stronger.

Found this to clean off the mold
I found this on YouTube. The guy used it on a pop up and it worked for him.
I just used on the roof of my bunk and it came clean.
It did have some bleach, so keeping the air flowing was helpful.

Picked up my Miracle Mist in the WalMart RV section... just FYI.

Make sure you get the stuff with the stain remover. You can get it at Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, etc... Dont wear any clothes that you dont want ruined. If it gets on your clothes the color is gone. Spray it on your canvas, roll it up and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Unroll it and rinse it off. I used it on the entire roof of my 5er and cleaned it like brand new. No scrubbing required, unless the stain is REALLY bad. But you'll know after you spray on, set, and rinse off. I've turned on about a half dozen people I know to this stuff and they swear by it now.

Yes! I found it initially on Amazon for ~$20.00. Then my daughter found it in Walmart for ~$8.00...It pays to look around...

If it’s just some mold & mildew, and not heavily stained, I would use this. I have a 16XRB that had some mildew spots around the zipper material, and it worked real good. It’s has a very weak concentration of bleach, so you have to let it sit for a few minutes, but the mold & mildew disappeared completely. After, I used a spray bottle of water, to totally spray the areas to dilute the residue bleach off.

Not sure if you can get Mirage 2000 products in the States, but I use their mold and mildew remover by the gallon. It's chlorine based and absolutely the best cleaner I have ever found. works amazing on trailers, but we use it all around the house especially for cleaning siding, soffits and facias. I buy the gallon jugs which makes it a bit cheaper. It's formulated not to damage or bleach fabrics, and we have never had an issue.

X2 on this. I got mold on our old pop-up camper the first summer we had it. The dealer suggested this. Soak a sponge or rag with the bleach water. Make a couple of passes over the molded area. Follow with plain water. Use plain water again. Do this as needed. It worked great.
