washing portable canvas

[shnelson]

Do you guys think it would be safe to throw my frabill flipover canvas in the washer? I've got a frontload washer that I was thinking I could throw it on delicate with cold water and not use any detergent (I don't want to inhibit the flame retardant in the canvas).

I'm just pulling it out of storage and want to give it a good wash - what do you guys use otherwise if you think the washer might be a bad idea?

I have always taken a soft bristle brush with warm water and murphys oil soap and given mine a scrub down outside then set it up to let it dry and air out. Then its good to go

I went ahead and threw it in the washer before I saw your post mrfish. I was thinking about just taking it out and washing it down with a brush and dawn dish soap, but its been pretty soggy/chilly lately.

Came out pretty clean and fairly dry after the quick rinse/spin cycle I put it through.

I put it all back together in the garage and cranked on the buddy heater to dry it out, started imagining the concrete was ice and was ready to start popping some holes

I also have used soap with a soft brush. Works pretty good and one does not have to remove the skin from the house.
