CLEAN OR PAINT AWNINGS?
(From A. M. c., Arlington.)
I enjoy reading the various items
in the RICH and have tried out many
of the recipes and ideas. Have
any Of the readers tried to clean or
paint awnings? I have three large
tan canvas awnings that need to be
cleaned. They have many dark spots
and stains on them. Have any of
you used canvas paint and found
1t satisfactory? Does it take much
OF that kind Of paint and is there
any special way to apply it? The
canvas awnings are around five
years old and appear to be in fair
ly good condition. Have you tried
any special cleaning preparations
and what are they? I shall appreci-
ate your suggestions.
