Care and Maintenance

New tents should be thoroughly wet down on the outside before first use. This will ensure that your swag or tent performs well in wet weather by allowing the poly/cotton corespun thread and canvas to swell ensuring the take up of any potential leaks in the stitching. Cleaning Canvas: Do not use soap or detergents on the canvas. Do not store the product if wet, allow drying first. To clean use a soft brush and cold water. Do not expose to petrol, oils or harsh chemicals. Cleaning mould: Allow mould to dry Remove surface mould off with stiff bristle brush Vacuum the area Treat area with Oil of Clove spray (diluted spray can be purchased or can be mixed using a few drops of oil into a spray bottle of water) Condensation: Condensation is a natural occurrence in cold weather. In confined areas like tents the body releases more moisture than the canvas can dispose of. To help to reduce condensation build up. If possible, keep some of the windows open on the tent to enable airflow on cold nights. If you are not using your tent for an extended period of time (more than 10 days) open the tent regularly to allow it to air out, and possibly even remove the mattress and store it separately until your next trip.
