Re-treating
303? High Tech Fabric Guard restores lost water repellency and stain repellency to factory new levels. It stops leaks, resists soiling, protects against both water-based and oil-based stains and impedes mildew formation.
Errr, Uhh. 303 IS for waterproofing. you are thinking of the wrong 303 product. I have used 303 for 15 years on all my canvas. It is also the only protectant recommended by Sunbrella. here
Maintenance Tip: About once a month, use a water hose to gently spray off any dirt that has settled. Do this regularly and you will have to clean and re-treat less often.
Re: thought I'd share my boat canvas cover water proofing story
Use only on new or newly cleaned, dry fabric.
Spray on 303? High Tech Fabric Guard until wetly damp, overlapping sprayed areas.Do Not Saturate.
Allow fabric to dry thoroughly before using or storing. [links]
We didn’t have any mold or mildew on our canvas, so we were just going for a light cleaning to remove any dirt or residue on the surface of our camper. If you’ve got mildew, you’ll want to use something much stronger. Sunbrella recommends a mixture of dish soap, bleach, and water. They’ve got a great stain chart here you can use for reference. I’ve also seen some amazing results from the Bass Pro Shops mildew cleaner. I had never tried it myself, but I hear good things about it. In fact, Mandy over at Campfire Travelers used it on her canvas with great success. You can read all about that here. We just needed a light cleaning to get rid of the dust and dirt on the canvas, however, so we used the Woolite and water. We used a regular sponge to wash the canvas on the inside. Then we used plain, clean water and another sponge to rinse. We didn’t really soak the canvas on the inside, because we didn’t have much dirt. We just did a light wipe down. It’s worth noting that we had several black marks along the bottom of the canvas from the moving parts of the camper. I’m guessing it was grease or something, and the Woolite did not get those out.
We used a piece of cardboard to protect our vinyl areas when we were spraying the canvas. Be sure you are wiping up any overspray on the vinyl with a clean rag. Don’t worry, once it dries, there will be no visible spotting. After we gave the canvas a light coat of the waterproofer, we went back with a clean, white rag and applied more Fabric Guard to areas of the canvas by hand. Just pour directly from the bottle onto the rag and wipe it into the canvas. Make sure you are only applying 303 High Tech Fabric Guard to the canvas parts of your pop up. The top of our pop up is vinyl, as are the green parts at the bottom. DO NOT get the Fabric Guard on the vinyl, as it will damage it. This is clearly marked on the bottle, but we found it out the hard way. We weren’t very diligent about wiping up overspray the second time we treated the canvas, and it discolored our vinyl in a few spots. To be extra sure you don’t harm your vinyl, you could tape it off or cover it with plastic. [links]
I love this product, because it cleans and protects at the same time. Simply spray it on the vinyl, rub it on with a clean cloth, and buff it out with another clean, dry cloth. We used old socks on our hands, and it worked great. If you get streaks, simply apply more product, wipe, and dry. That’s it! [links]

When I bought my couch, the salesman told me not to use Scotchgard on the microfiber but to try this product called Sunarmor water and stain repellent, which is what I used, it worked perfectly and even if you pour something right on it it just beads up and rolls off. I tried it on my pillows first though just to be sure! I think you can buy it at Linens & Things more
I used Scotch guard on my microfiber couch and love it. Make sure if you wash the couch prior that you completely let it dry for a few days.
This eight feet inches long and nearly three feet wide best canvas wall tent provides you with roomy sleeping space. You are free to use it either on the ground or in the bed of a pickup, or even with a compatible cot.
A perfectly designed tent made of quality cotton, burly steel stakes, and thick poles stands up to severe weather and heavy use that would flatten most plastic tents. Camping tents are the best choice for humanitarian, military, and expedition use since they are tough as nails and trustworthy. The shelter is the top-most priority in the wilderness and tents continuously provide. [links]
Tents are considered as your house away from the house and the best canvas wall tent will let you feel safe, secure and comfortable at all times. If you are in search of a new tent, probably you should think about a canvas camping tent. You might be solo backpackers or duo you must need a better tent always.
