Okay Chaps, what do you Yanks use to clean your canvas equipment? Being a Brit', we have little canvas gear, but our Bergen and gun slips/covers are built with the same materials and manufacturing techniques as your gear. I've recently acquired an odd (and perhaps rare?) Brit' Bergen which is differs from the standard 'Commando Bergan' and 'Mountaineer Bergen' due to it's square frame, as opposed to the triangular shape of the 'commando' and the triangular frame of the 'Mountaineer'. It's dated 1944, has genuine WD and makers marks, and it a real "garage find". It's in excellent condition except for the layers and layers of greasy dust and slight (very little indeed) rust staining.
What do you use to clean your canvas equipment, and what precautions do you take to stop it shrinking? If it does shrink, does it work itself loose/big again after a bit of "movement"?

i used a stiff clean shoe/boot brush and warm soapy water.
Cheers for your input scaleyback.
Anyone else got any tips, tricks or general guidance?

No, dear chap. You can keep you creaky old leather and your hairy armpits.

Sorry.....clean canvas? Why? 
BTW, have to agree on the German women.
Recent experience suggests that German men aren't the most attractive though, rather rotund....must be all that meat.
Your Kirsten is the exception to the rule HS, my ex is too, but thats water under the bridge hehe
