Thanks chaps.
I'm not too certain of the exact fabric. There is no label to be seen. It appears to be canvas. So far I have had it soaking in some mild detergent and some of the green algae has started to come away but the worst staining is where the mildew and the worst staining has soaked in.
I have tried a mild carpet cleaner on a small area and that really had no effect at all.
I don't really want to get the pressure washer onto it as I fear the machine I have may blow holes in it.
Well, things look better when they are dry so after a night drying in my poly tunnel I can see what the score is. I have until saturday so no worries yet.
Not being a sailing kind of man and what with being land locked here in worcestershire I was wondering if sails on some types of boats were canvas. If so, they must get cleaned with something,
Just a thought,
Anyway thanks again for the imput.
