What can I apply to the canvas on my pop up tent camper after I clean the mold from it?

Most of the mold cleans up with vinegar and bleach mix. Is there some preservative that I can apply to the canvas after I remove the mold that will keep it from remolding for next year? Maybe a 3M product or something like that?
Jane, Dollar General is not in our state, nor the surrounding ones close by. I see this Awesome stuff can be bought on the internet and is a citrus cleaner. Perhaps if I mix citrus with vinegar, I can make a cleaner that is effective on the canves more.
But I still want to be able to slow the process of it returning later!


Your best bet is to be sure that it is completely dry before folding it up and that you store it in a dry location. If you storage is damp, be sure to air it out every couple weeks to help control the mold.

Try talcum powder after cleaning before packing for future use.
