Let mud dry and brush it off, then spot-clean with water if needed. Never use household detergent. Reproof with any good-quality liquid canvas reproofer when water stops beading on the surface.
Cleaning
Let mud dry, then brush it off.
If that doesn't work, use plain water or a tent-safe cleaner. Never use standard detergents.
Knock off ash specks from inside the tent rather than rubbing them on the outside.
Pitch away from trees where birds roost.
Reproofing
Use any good-quality liquid canvas tent reproofer, following the instructions on the tin.
Reproof when water no longer beads on the canvas, usually about once a year depending on use.
A fine mist is enough; you don't need to soak it.
Glawnings left pitched long-term will need reproofing more often.
Mould
Dry your tent fully before storing it. If you spot mould, treat it early. Our video shows how.
