b. Treating Mildewed Areas. Canvas that has mildewed can be cleaned by scrubbing with
a dry brush. If it is necessary to use water to remove dirt, it should not be used until mildew has
been removed. After removing mildew, examine fabric. Look for evidence of deterioration. If canvas
has deteriorated, it should be replaced.
CAUTION
Keep cleaning solvents, gasoline, and lubricants away from rubber or soft plastic
parts. They will deteriorate material.
c. Cleaning Rust or Grease. When cleaning grease buildup or rusty places, use a cleaning
solvent. Then apply a thin coat of light oil to affected area.
