I found this great tip on http://cleaning.lifetips.com. If you’ve had any problems with mold and mildew on canvas gazebo tops, this should do the trick. Test first on an inconspicuous area to make sure there’s no color fade.

To remove mold and mildew from your canvas tent, or awning, first vacuum or brush soiled areas to remove any excess dirt. Wash the affected area with a solution of 1/2 cup Lysol to a gallon of hot water. Rinse with a solution of 1 cup lemon juice and 1 cup salt to a gallon of hot water. Allow the canvas to air dry in the sun.

You can also try applying a cleaner such as IOSSO Tent & Camping Gear Cleaner. This cleaner is made to remove tough dirt and mildew stains. Afterwards, you may want to treat the canvas with a water-repellent compound such as Canvak.
