Default cleaning, renewing canvas

What can I use to clean it or is painting it with something doable?

I was thinking of using the 'rubberized' paint you can get at the big
boxes to paint it white and make it look presentable.

Thanks in advance

The boat I just acquired was in similar condition (1980 munbro 16ft c/w
1969 40hp evinrude selectric). I used Spray Nine and it did quite a
remarkable job on the white canvas. It even made the blackened windows
appear almost transparent although I plan on replacing them anyways. I
think a few more treatments and scrubbing with spray nine will have the
canvas looking quite respectable. I'm sure there are a variety of
special purpose cleaners for canvas, but the spray nine is cheap and
plentiful.
