Did a playground for the city parks & rec. dept. This is the first time I've encountered material like this. The fabric for the shelters is pretty loosely woven and not completely water tight. Its meant to be more of a sun-shade than a water proof covering. The algae was on all sidse of the fabric too, so the inside and the outside had to be washed and rinsed too.  Rinse had no "run-down effect" either, every inch of fabric had to be rinsed with light pressure, otherwise I was left with striped patterns.

The fabric did clean up with a 15-20% SH concentration. Just surfactant/detergent and SH and water. No funky additives.

Was it a canvas or plastic type material. How long did it take?

Best way I can describe it is a plastic canvas.... Its woven and pliable live a canvas, but the material is shiny and feels like a plastic type material. The material does rip though, there were a few holes in the awnings that looked like canvas. and had been repaired like a canvas repair.
