We have used Dettol Mould and Mildew (or Mildred as OH calls it) Remover on a lot of fabric items, from high chairs, pushchairs, travel cots, clothing and have not had a problem, it has removed the mould and mildew quickly with no trace and no discolouration.  I would think you would have to re-proof the awning afterwards though.

I would try brushing it and washing it first. Then a dilute milton solution followed by washing and only if that didn't work would I use dettol. I've used it in the bathroom and it smells really strong.

apparently letting the sunlight get to the canvas kills the mildew spores, we were told not to use a cleaner as it strips the waterproofing. just let it sit in the sun.(if we get any).
