[Artemisia] Care and feeding of Canvas

[Sondra Gibson]

I've been told you can use a mild bleach solution to remove mildew, but I
was afraid it would weaken the canvas.  Using a solution of water and pine
sol, then rinsing well and allowing it to stand in the sun for a couple days
will kill the mildew and keep it from getting worse.  It will lighten the
stains, but not remove them.
