Tent Care and Maintenance

Cleaning:

1. Use clean tap water with soft brush, OR spray nozzle

2. Brush with medium soft bristle brush

• DO NOT use solvents, soaps or detergents
• Washing or scrubbing the tent will have an adverse effect on the flame retardant finish
• Petroleum and/or kerosene fumes may adversely effect the treatment of the fabric
• Care should be taken to keep fabric clean from any foreign substances, especially acid forming chemicals and staining
• If fabric has been exposed to salt water, wash with hose using tap water
• If insect repellent is used around the tent fabric, do not spray directly on fabric. An agent in most sprays as a propellant will damage water repellent finishes.

After Use Before Storage:

Snowtrekker® Tents must be completely dry before packing away to prevent mildew from forming. NEVER store a tent when damp. Never keep a tent set up for long periods of time in a location where it will not dry out

Patching:

A scrap of canvas is enclosed in case you need to patch the tent. We recommend using Bish’s Tear Mender- a flexible glue that is bomb proof and is flexible in the cold. It's what we use.
