Whether you\u2019re fighting mold, mildew, food stains or tree sap, there\u2019s a way to make your chair look like new again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When cleaning camping chairs antimicrobials work best on mold and mildew. Food stains will come out with cold water. Mineral oil will take sap out of your chairs. The best way to keep your chairs clean, however, is taking steps to minimize the potential for a mess.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one likes the look of stains on their camping chairs, and it seems like everything in nature is dead set on leaving their mark. Don\u2019t haul them out to the dumpster yet though &#8211; there are tricks to get just about any stain out of your camping chairs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Camp-Chairs-1024x680.webp\" alt=\"Camp Chairs\" class=\"wp-image-49398\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5058823529411764;width:685px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Camp-Chairs-1024x680.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Camp-Chairs-300x199.webp 300w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Camp-Chairs-768x510.webp 768w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Camp-Chairs-600x399.webp 600w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Camp-Chairs.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ID 92448570 \u00a9 Jaysi | Dreamstime.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_63 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-661647b418549\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #5d7772;color:#5d7772\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #5d7772;color:#5d7772\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-661647b418549\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/clean-camping-chairs\/#Cleaners_For_Removing_Mold_And_Mildew_From_Canvas\" title=\"Cleaners For Removing Mold And Mildew From Canvas\">Cleaners For Removing Mold And Mildew From Canvas<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/clean-camping-chairs\/#How_To_Spot_Treat_Food_Stains\" title=\"How To Spot Treat Food Stains\">How To Spot Treat Food Stains<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/clean-camping-chairs\/#Removing_Tree_Sap\" title=\"Removing Tree Sap\">Removing Tree Sap<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/clean-camping-chairs\/#Protecting_Your_Folding_Camp_Chairs\" title=\"Protecting Your Folding Camp Chairs\">Protecting Your Folding Camp Chairs<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/clean-camping-chairs\/#Closing_Thoughts\" title=\"Closing Thoughts\u00a0\">Closing Thoughts\u00a0<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cleaners_For_Removing_Mold_And_Mildew_From_Canvas\"><\/span>Cleaners For Removing Mold And Mildew From Canvas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t think it\u2019ll be that big of a deal to store your folding chairs damp, but a week later you\u2019ve got mildew, or worse &#8211; mold. Aside from the musty smell, mold and mildew also come with health risks so you\u2019ll want to kill it off as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mildew is the annoying friend that your roommate invited over &#8211; not too hard to get rid of with the right approach. Mold, on the other hand, is your mother-in-law &#8211; much harder to shake. The good news is that whether you\u2019re dealing with mold, mildew, or both, there are ways to kill the pesky fungi and save your chairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Direct Sunlight Kills Mold And Mildew<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you want to do is dry out the chairs. Mold and mildew thrive on moisture, and letting the chairs bake in the sun for a few hours will help prevent it from spreading any further.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"939\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/soap-and-scrub-brush-1024x939.webp\" alt=\"soap and scrub brush\" class=\"wp-image-49392\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.0905218317358893;width:583px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/soap-and-scrub-brush-1024x939.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/soap-and-scrub-brush-300x275.webp 300w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/soap-and-scrub-brush-768x704.webp 768w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/soap-and-scrub-brush-600x550.webp 600w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/soap-and-scrub-brush.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ID 41041151 \u00a9 Thodonal | Dreamstime.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dish Soap And Detergents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your chairs are dry, then you can try dish soap like Dawn on mildew. Get a scrub brush and some elbow grease, and go over every patch of mildew. This won\u2019t do much for mold &#8211; you\u2019re better off using a detergent like OxyClean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hydrogen Peroxide<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If soap doesn\u2019t work even for mildew, you can use 3% hydrogen peroxide.&nbsp;Let the hydrogen peroxide soak in for about 10 minutes, but make sure you rinse it out after. Hydrogen peroxide has the potential to stain your canvas if you leave it too long, but that\u2019s also what helps get the mold and mildew stains out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vinegar Bath<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For more resistant patches, you can try soaking the chair in vinegar. Once the vinegar has had a few hours to work on the mold and mildew, put some baking soda on top and scrub it away. Another thing you can do is mix equal parts of rubbing alcohol and water, then soak the affected areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Odour Fixing Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The downside to alcohol, peroxide, and especially vinegar is that you can get an unpleasant odor afterwards. If you want to add some of your favorite essential oil to whichever mix you want to use, just put a few drops in and it\u2019ll help cut down on the smell.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lemon-essential-oil-1024x680.webp\" alt=\"lemon essential oil\" class=\"wp-image-49390\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5058823529411764;width:658px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lemon-essential-oil-1024x680.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lemon-essential-oil-300x199.webp 300w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lemon-essential-oil-768x510.webp 768w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lemon-essential-oil-600x399.webp 600w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lemon-essential-oil.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ID 140041353 \u00a9 Richard Villalon | Dreamstime.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There are two things that I should mention before you go reaching for the lavender oil. Firstly, some essential oils will repel bugs but others will act as magnets. The last thing you want is to be attracting mosquitos, bees, and other bugs while you\u2019re trying to relax in your chair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lemon essential oil is a good option because it&#8217;s a natural mosquito repellant and provides extra cleaning power. Whichever oil you choose,  make sure you check for any unwanted effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other thing is that you\u2019ll want to use 3% hydrogen peroxide if you\u2019re planning to mix it with an essential oil, because the oxidizing effect of hydrogen peroxide can actually degrade the essential oil and cause it to lose its scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bleach And TSP For Stubborn Stains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now for the heavy hitters. A diluted bleach solution is always a solid option, but you\u2019ll have to act fast to keep it from discoloring your canvas. A step up from that is to mix one part trisodium phosphate (TSP) with four parts water and four parts bleach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This combination is the most powerful mold and mildew remover you can get before paying up for a specialty product. Again, take care not to let it sit for too long or it may stain or cause the chair\u2019s color to fade.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal aawp-product--css-adjust-image-large\"  data-aawp-product-asin=\"B00FZRSMDA\" data-aawp-product-id=\"13527\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"lifeonroute02-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Sunnyside Corporation 64164 4 Pound 64 Ounce\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\"\n           href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00FZRSMDA?tag=lifeonroute02-20\" title=\"Sunnyside Corporation 64164, 4 Pound, 64 Ounce\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/413pSjfp2cL.jpg\" alt=\"Sunnyside Corporation 64164, 4 Pound, 64 Ounce\"  \/>\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00FZRSMDA?tag=lifeonroute02-20\" title=\"Sunnyside Corporation 64164, 4 Pound, 64 Ounce\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Sunnyside Corporation 64164, 4 Pound, 64 Ounce        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n            <ul><li>Country Of Origin: United States<\/li><li>Model Number: 64164<\/li><li>Item Package Dimension: 8.6\" L x 5.9\" W x 2.7\" H<\/li><\/ul>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n            \n            \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/prime\/?tag=lifeonroute02-20\" title=\"Amazon Prime\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"aawp-check-prime\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/aawp\/assets\/img\/icon-check-prime.svg\" height=\"16\" width=\"55\" alt=\"Amazon Prime\" \/><\/a>        <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00FZRSMDA?tag=lifeonroute02-20\" title=\"Check Latest Deals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Check Latest Deals<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specialty Mold And Mildew Remover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not interested in trying out the home remedies and you would rather go with something store bought, Bass Pro\u2019s store-brand mold and mildew remover is some of the best stuff out there.

Adding some some rock salt or sand directly to the stain will increase the abrasion of your cloth without causing damage to the canvas or fabric of your chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have some club soda in the cooler you can add an extra power punch to the cold by pouring the soda on the stain. This should help ease the removal process and save some elbow grease.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Club-Soda-and-Lemon-1024x680.webp\" alt=\"Club Soda and Lemon\" class=\"wp-image-49396\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5058823529411764;width:604px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Club-Soda-and-Lemon-1024x680.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Club-Soda-and-Lemon-300x199.webp 300w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Club-Soda-and-Lemon-768x510.webp 768w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Club-Soda-and-Lemon-600x399.webp 600w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Club-Soda-and-Lemon.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ID 1787649 \u00a9 William Berry | Dreamstime.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cutting The Grease Stains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While tomato stains are a pain, grease stains are worse. These are resistant to water alone and no amount of scrubbing will get them out without the right stuff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When thousands of birds got doused in oil after the spill in 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico, Dawn dish soap was one of the main things used to clean them up because of how effective it is against grease. If you have a grease stain on your chair, just put a dollop of Dawn on it and use a small brush to scrub the area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a Joy or Ajax fan you can try those, but something else you can also use is shampoo. Shampoo has surfactants that lift grease away from your hair, and it acts similarly on your canvas chairs. Let the shampoo sit on the stain for about 20 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal aawp-product--css-adjust-image-large\"  data-aawp-product-asin=\"B07DDJKHPN\" data-aawp-product-id=\"13528\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"lifeonroute02-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Selaurel 2 Pack Silicone Laundry Brush Scrub Multi-use Household Cloth Washing Brush Dual-use Scrubbing Brush for Clothes Underwear Shoes Plastic Soft Cleaning Tool\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\"\n           href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07DDJKHPN?tag=lifeonroute02-20\" title=\"Selaurel 2 Pack Silicone Laundry Brush Scrub Multi-use Household Cloth Washing Brush Dual-use...\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/417eTF6W9TL.jpg\" alt=\"Selaurel 2 Pack Silicone Laundry Brush Scrub Multi-use Household Cloth Washing Brush Dual-use...\"  \/>\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07DDJKHPN?tag=lifeonroute02-20\" title=\"Selaurel 2 Pack Silicone Laundry Brush Scrub Multi-use Household Cloth Washing Brush Dual-use...\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Selaurel 2 Pack Silicone Laundry Brush Scrub Multi-use Household Cloth Washing Brush Dual-use...        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n            <ul><li>PREMIUM MATERIAL: Made of silicone and pp, soft and flexible.

This is probably the best anti-grease substance you\u2019ll find, and all you need to do is wet a soft cloth with the alcohol and wipe at the stain until it comes out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Removing_Tree_Sap\"><\/span>Removing Tree Sap<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maple trees can be beautiful when the colors change, but they also come with a sticky downside &#8211; sap. Sap is one of the toughest stains to get out of material and even if you do manage there&#8217;s usually some damage left behind from the process. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Tree-Sap-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Tree Sap\" class=\"wp-image-49394\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.499267935578331;width:636px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Tree-Sap-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Tree-Sap-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Tree-Sap-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Tree-Sap-600x400.webp 600w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Tree-Sap.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ID 140895645 \u00a9 Achmad Irwansyah Gunawan | Dreamstime.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alcohol And Mineral Oil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like for grease, you can also use rubbing alcohol to remove sap or you can go for mineral oil. Use a rag or sponge soaked in mineral oil to scrub out the sap, then rinse the chair with hot water.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rubbing some mineral oil on the metal parts of you chair will also protect them from rust. Be sure to hit all the unpainted parts like the screws and rivets. It doesn&#8217;t take much, just a very light coating applied with a rag is enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Goo Gone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Goo Gone is a product that works well on all manner of sticky substances &#8211; sap included. You don\u2019t need to dilute it at all, just apply it to the sticky surface and wait for 3-5 mins. Then use a rag or sponge to wipe it up, and finish with a good soap and water wash.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nail Polish Remover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another good option for sticky stains is nail polish remover, and as an added bonus it contains compounds that repel mosquitoes. Apply a generous amount on the residue, let it dissolve the sticky stuff, then just wipe it off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Protecting_Your_Folding_Camp_Chairs\"><\/span>Protecting Your Folding Camp Chairs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with most things, your life is going to be much easier if you can avoid the problem to begin with. This starts with doing everything you can to make sure your chairs are dry when you store them. Mold and mildew thrive on moisture, and it doesn\u2019t take much for them to start growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoiding The Messes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re camping at a campground and you have access to a picnic table, using that instead of your camping chair is going to cut down on the amount of food stains you experience. You will also want to be aware of sap-dripping trees above your setup and try to position your chairs away from them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safe Storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your chairs come with bags for storage, use them. This will not only help keep dirt and grime away while you\u2019re traveling, it\u2019ll protect the canvas from rips and tears as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guarding From Grime<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wouldn\u2019t it be great if you could wave a wand and make your chairs waterproof and stain resistant? The closest you\u2019ll get is applying a layer of scotchguard on the fabric. You\u2019re still going to have to clean your chairs periodically, but the stains will be less likely to set and you\u2019ll be better protected against mold and mildew.<\/p>\n\n\n\nInvalid table id.\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Closing_Thoughts\"><\/span>Closing Thoughts\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You want a nice, clean chair to go camping with, and now you know how to get rid of just about any stain from mold to ketchup to sap.
