How to clean Canvas Shell on Portable?

[Cuts]

I have a Polar Sled portable, and although the canvas is stored indoors during the off season, it got quite dirty this winter and I would like to clean it before putting away. Can it be washed, then dried thoroughly? What methods work? Can a commercial launderer be used? Power washed?

I'd just get the hose out and spray her down.

just spray it down with the hose, but make sure it's completely dry before you put it away for the season.

After the mice were finished with my Otter Medium canvas this fall, I took it to a laundry mat and used their biggest washer. Plenty of quarters, but it got rid of the urine/[PoorWordUsage] smell.

I have power washed mine in the past and used basic soap. The key is to use the power wash wand that provides a wide coverage at the lowest pressure. You dont want to have a tight stream or else you will be blowing holes in the canvas. As others have said, make sure it completely dry before you put it away.
