you could i guess it's those things you hook to a hose pipe and spray on the house then rinse off so you could just open the container and pour into a bucket with water and use it on the areas you wanted with a sponge or brush. look for it at Lowes or Walmart

Make sure to rinse it REAL good whatever ya use so it don't degrade the fabric or thread. After it dries Scotchguard it.

I bleached my blue canvas. It worked really well and there was no scrubbing or anything required. I just filled a big tub with ~1 cup bleach per gallon and a half water and threw in a few cups of laundry detergent for good measure. Agitated with a stick for a few minutes, afterwards my canvas looked like new. Afterwards, I treated it with 48 oz. of 303 High Tech Fabric Guard (that was expensive) and I'm glad I did. I had the boat out in a 7 foot swell with 3-5f foot wind waves and took a lot of water over the top. The canvas didn't leak a drop.
TEST A SMALL SECTION TO BE SURE THE BLEACH WONT "BLEACH" YOUR FABRIC. Some fabrics, such as Sunbrella, are bleach safe. |

Ok, but emphasis on TEST. I was really worried about using bleach on blue but am very happy with the results.
