Description
The most common method is to spread out the tent and use a mop, brush, soft buffer, and/or pressure washer to clean it.
WARNING: Vinyl tent fabric has a type of plastic surface that can be scraped off by rough surfaces such as a concrete pad, rocks, asphalt, and other hard surfaces. When spreading out the tent, please make sure to place it on a soft material such as a drop cloth or tarp to protect the vinyl. If a soft material is not used, the fabric and it’s coating will be damaged and may need repairs.
You can use commercial tent cleaner solutions, soap and water, or just plain water to clean the tent. A mild vinyl cleaner can also be used. Please do not use acid-based cleaners such as household bleach or other types of cleaner that will hurt vinyl materials.
When the tent was fabricated, a lacquer coating was applied to the outside surface to protect it when directly exposed to sunlight. The inside of the tent, however, does not have this coating and needs to be handled properly. Please make sure that the tent is dried thoroughly, especially at the webbing, buckles, and grommets, before it is folded and stored. This ensures that no water vapor will be present inside the bag.
Another method is the use of a large commercial washing machine designed specifically for tents. Our tents are fully compatible with commercial washing machines. Please follow the washer manufacturer’s guidelines for the solutions to be used when cleaning tents. Just remember that all tents need to be completely dry before being placed into storage.
All of our tent tops are certified by California as Fire Retardant. We can provide a certificate after the tent is constructed. The certification logo appears on the tent. All tent fabric should be carefully rolled and kept in a dry place. Prevent water from collecting on the tent during storage because moisture can cause mildew and stains. Avoid pinching and dragging the tent top, as this can tear pin holes in the fabric. Do not use sharp tools when opening the bags or packing materials. All of the tent’s materials and sewing specifications were tested and exceed a tensile strength of 200 pounds per square inch (PSI). This includes all of the tent’s top materials, including the rope lace-line, webbing rope, and other supporting parts of the tent.
