After spending a weekend in nature, it is expected to bring home a dusty and dirty tent. However, if your outdoor home becomes too dirty, you may notice unsightly stains, strange odors, or zippers no longer working as well as before.

Cleaning tents can solve most of these problems and is not difficult to achieve. The following are the necessary steps:

Collect equipment/supplies: You will need water, soap, tent/equipment cleaner, a cloth/sponge, and a bathtub.

Brush off and shake well: remove sand or dry dirt; During the installation process, you can also carefully clean or vacuum.

Local cleaning with soap: Gently clean any excess dirty areas with a cloth or sponge and a small amount of mild detergent.

Prepare bathtub: Fill the bathtub with cool to slightly warm water and add tent cleaning products. According to the instructions on the bottle, see how much cleaning agent needs to be used.

Prepare your tent: unzip the door and flip the tent over.

Soak tent: Soak the tent and rainwater in a bathtub. Similarly, follow the instructions on the cleaning agent bottle to see how long the tent should be soaked.

Thoroughly rinse: Drain the bathtub and refill with clean water. You may need to do this a few times to clean the soap in the tent before it rains.

Completely dry: Set up or hang the tent in a cool place until it is completely dry.
