Use & Storage

Make sure your tent is completely dry before storing it. Moisture, mold, and mildew can damage your tent.
Remove all the tent poles, including reinforcement bars (present in large tents for more than four people).
Close or zip the front door of your tent securely when you store it.
Avoid wearing shoes inside your tent to reduce wear and tear.
Use a footprint, tarp or large cloth under your tent while camping to protect the bottom.

Washing

Gather equipment/supplies: You’ll need water, soap, tent/gear cleaner, a cloth/sponge and a tub.
Brush it off and shake it out: Get rid of sand or dried-on dirt; you can also carefully sweep or vacuum inside while it’s set up.
Spot clean first, then immerse: First you’ll spot clean dirty areas, then soak the tent in sudsy water.
Rinse and dry: Be sure to rinse your tent thoroughly and dry it completely before storing it.
