How does canvas fabric handle exposure to sprinkler system minerals?
Canvas fabric is known for its durability and versatility, but exposure to sprinkler system minerals can pose challenges. When canvas comes into contact with water containing dissolved minerals (like calcium or magnesium), it may absorb these particles, leading to potential staining or discoloration over time. The fabric's tight weave offers some resistance, but prolonged exposure can weaken fibers and reduce longevity. To minimize damage, rinse canvas with clean water after sprinkler contact and allow it to dry thoroughly. For heavy mineral buildup, a mild vinegar solution can help dissolve deposits. Regular maintenance ensures canvas retains its strength and appearance despite occasional mineral exposure.
