How to Clean a Tent
British camping usually means one thing; mud. But while many choose to revel in it, your tent certainly won't.
Introduction
Keeping your tent clean can be quick and simple and is something you should try to do regularly. Giving your tent a deep clean can take a little longer but is worth doing every now and then to help maintain performance. A flysheet and inner tent free from dirt ensures that any moisture can be wicked away and evaporated quickly.
These instructions apply to both synthetic and cotton canvas tents.

Top tip
For a deep clean, you can soak the fabric in the cleaning solution. Depending on the size of your tent you'll need to do this in a large bucket or even in the bath. Follow directions on the bottle of the cleaner to determine how long you need to leave it to soak and be sure to rinse it thoroughly before leaving it to dry.
Cleaning and reproofing your tent is something you should do regularly to help prolong the life and performance of your tent.
