Cleaning & Waterproofing Service

 

Acrylic fabrics require thorough washing and waterproofing at least 1x after 5 years or as needed to further extend the life of the canvas.

​

We offer a cleaning and waterproofing service for acrylic fabrics! All you have to do is bring us your canvas to our Varennes branch. A deposit will be required for the evaluation of your canvas, but rest assured, it will be deducted from the final invoice for this service. We are here to bring your fabrics back to life!

​

N.B.: If your canvas has already been cleaned in the past, it may be more fragile and not withstand a second cleaning. Ditto if your canvas is more than 7 years old, if you still decide to have it cleaned, you cannot hold us responsible.

​

​The cleaning and waterproofing service included:

• Completely redone seams. (At our hourly rate)

• Cleaning and waterproofing.

• Checking/evaluation of your canvas upon return from cleaning and waterproofing.

 

​General information:

• No canvas is sent for cleaning without the seams having first been redone.

• Please note that some persistent stains such as pine gum, tree leaves and soot cannot disappear completely, but will fade with cleaning. Auvents Signature is not responsible for stubborn stains visible following cleaning.

• The cleaning and waterproofing service is carried out as a subcontractor.

•  A deposit is required to proceed with cleaning.

• We will contact you by email when your canvas is cleaned.

• You can collect your canvas at the Varennes branch, within 15 working days, otherwise you may be charged storage costs.

• If you have an Annual Service Agreement (DEI), the final balance payable must be paid before installation.

​

N.B.: The canvas will have shrunk when it returns from cleaning, you may have to wet it for your first installation, it will be important to repeat this tensioning process after the first rain, this phenomenon is due to the fact that your canvas will have dried without being stretched. ​
