I'm thinking of bringing my canvas (some has isenglass windows) down
to the local laundromat, and washing them with a very mild detergent
in a large commercial washing machine on the gentle cycle.

Anyone ever attempt this?

I'm sure it could impact the water repellency, but I plan to re-treat
the canvas once it's back up......

I was doing this in the 60s, it will be fine.
