Mouse stains on canvas

[godsgirl]

Opened my pup last week and the dreaded mice had gotten in even after I thought everything was sealed up. They used the canvas over one of the beds as a urinal. How do I clean the stains left behind? Anyone have any ideas? I don't want to have problems with leaks but the thought of the stains over my head as I sleep is not appealing. I have a '96 Coleman Niagra.  I went to my local rv store and they looked at me with a blank stare. They had no ideas.

It seems no one here has any ideas either. Do you think maybe canvas cleaner would help with some pet urine cleaner too??

We got our pup from someone I work with and it had rats and mice in it.  It was sitting in a field for a couple of years.  I think they used mild bleach solution to clean it up.  I will try to talk with the previous owner and see what they used to clean it with tomorrow.

Thanks looking for me. It is best when someone actually did it before.

I just found this chart from Sunbrella. It tells you what to use on all kinds of stains, including urine. So I will try some of the suggestions this weekend. Will tell you how it works out.

People are going to think I am peddling this stuff, but it really does work.

I talked to what I think is the owner and he was actually shocked about it when I sent him the pictures.  There's a few stains left and he said that I should spray it and leave it on for a few minutes.  When I said no way I'm not bleaching it he said it's not an issue.  I have to order some more and I do plan on leaving it on this time.  

I thought it was just oxyclean when I mixed it but when you use it it seems like oxyclean on steroids.

I asked the previous owner today and he said that he used many different cleaners on different parts of the camper.  He believes that he used Simple Green diluted on the fabric tent part.  Ours is made of a fabric that has like a cotton wicking material inside and a fabric like lawn furniture on the outside, all sandwiched together.
What ever you use to clean it, remember to waterproof it when you are done.

Well I tried everything on the stains. The recommendation from Sunbrella with the dawn and vinegar, then the simple green, then bleach and water, then pet urine cleaner. I couldn't find the instagone. Nothing helped. Oh well, at least I know it is really, really clean and smells nice. Thanks for all the help!
