maybe a silly question but....

my dad said we can use his karcher when we go away end of may. may come in handy if we have a wet pack up in cornwall, but as he has already used this on the windows of his house i am wondering if i can use this on the canvas as it may have residue of cleaner .

please help

I have heard that the karchers are good at sucking up any moisture from the canvas. However I would be reluctant to use anything with any chemicals in it x

I must be missing something about the vax thingy. If it's sucking how could it put anything onto the canvas.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!

It has a 'squeegee' blade (it's designed for cleaning windows and mirrors) - if you use it with the window cleaner solution, there would be a chance of residue of the cleaner on the squeegee.  You'd need to give it a really good clean to make sure nothing was left.

Just give it a good clean and turn the blade around.

I wonder if it could also suck up any waterproofing that has been applied to the tent?
