We have a blind that comes out over the patio, made of the usual striped sort of canvas. Along the edge it is stained with a sort of mildew. Any tips for getting it clean? We have tried washing with bleach but that didn't work. It has to be done in situ so can't be immersed.

Dettox mould & mildew remover is supposed to be quite good, also 'Astonish' seems to work on most things :-) :-)

I have never known anything that Astonish wouldn't clean, brilliant stuff. It says in my book to brush off any powdered mildew then wash in hot water and bleach with a soft bristled brush.

Dear Ann

Come and share our blind.

7.00 p.m and 37.3 degrees. Too much for me.

Hope you're both well
