How do I get rid of mold on my canopy gazebo?

Our gazebo canopies are made from polyamide (PA) coated polyester. The PA coating makes the material of our canopy resists mildew better than others. However, mold and mildew thrive in damp and humid conditions. Once they start to grow, this can result in the material deteriorating, or even cracking and tearing outright. Dip a soft porous sponge or broom into the soapy water and brush it onto the canopy. If ok, it would be better to use solution of household mild detergent and cold water. A preferred cleaner should be safe for home anti-bacterial use and bleach-free. Do not use bleach for cleaning, because the bleach makes the fabric colour and printing fade. Apply to fabric and allow to soak for up to 15 minutes. Then scrub gently with the broom to remove the mildew and stain build up. For stubborn areas, moisten a sponge with the soapy water and scrub carefully. After cleaning, rinse the cover completely to remove all of the soap residues with a garden hose.
