Cleaning

CLEANING TENT FABRIC

Clean the tent by setting it up and wiping it down with a mild soap (liquid hand soap) and lukewarm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Never use detergent, washing machines or dryers because they can damage the tent’s protective coating and seams. After cleaning, be sure the tent is completely dry, especially the heavier, double-stitched areas such as the seams, before storing or mold and mildew are likely to grow.

CLEANING TENT POLES

Clean the tent poles with a cloth and lubricate them with silicone spray. This is especially necessary after Ocean side camping trips to remove salt spray so the poles don’t corrode or stay gritty.

CLEANING ZIPPERS

Clean the zippers with a quick dip in water and then dry them off. This is especially important if you’ve been camping in a location with sand/dirt. If you don’t clean the zippers, the sliders will wear out and eventually the teeth will become inoperable.
