if you did not kill it and it a pricy big top not a $200 job . go to local boaters world or online and see what they have. i installed real conv tops for years. they make good stuff and people will say bleach and tile cleaner . but if you want top to last try to get a strong cleaner or restorer. i used to get this stuff in a gallon that had a sand like stuff in it and it got right into the pores just dont kill the top..but if the top is dead and a cheap one and you are low on funds you can get marhind dye from a auto paint store and that will make it look like new. but that is a last resort as it wost last forever

if its a big top i would have to disagee with tass, because if the wrong products clean it and dry it out . next year it will be useless, maybe dryed out. . look on overtons or westmarine. like i said i got 10 years installing that same canvas type material on cars. scrbbing hard with comet and bleach is great if the top coat $75 but if its a full canvas do not do that ask a canvas shop it you area what they will use they will say new top.when top is clean use mineral sprits with a clean rag it will give it oil like armor all but better

WRONG! You soap the hell out of any canvas, and the dirt LIFTS.. then hose off. Scrubbing inbeds the crap..gotta know yer fibers a little more. Besides., any bathroom mildew remover will work..spray, rinse..
wash the dog with the brush...
PS. On a clean canvas...scotchgard the living hell out of it (have a 1977 top on my big boat..still original
