To clean a canvas car cover, you can wash it while it's on your car. Here's how:
- Put the cover on your car. This makes it easier to scrub and handle.
- Prepare your cleaning solution: Fill a bucket with cold or warm water and add a mild soap (dish soap works well). Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the canvas.
- Rinse the cover: Use a hose to wet the entire car cover, removing loose dust, dirt, bird droppings, or other surface residues.
- Scrub the cover: Soak a cloth, sponge, or soft-bristled brush in the soapy water and scrub the car cover thoroughly. Pay attention to areas with heavy staining or dirt accumulation.
- Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the car cover thoroughly with the hose until all soap residue is gone.
- Allow to air dry: Let the car cover air dry completely on the car before storing it. Avoid putting it away while it's still damp to prevent mildew growth.
