Cleaning and care
Tents made of cotton blended fabric (TC) have a more comfortable tent climate
compared to tents made of pure synthetic fibers. In addition, they have a
better resistance to UV radiation.
This is due to the natural permeability of cotton, which ensures better air
exchange. The cotton is therefore also not coated and thus does not have a
classic water column. Rather, the fabric swells on contact with water and thus
seals itself naturally. It should be noted, however, that the fabric requires
a little more care to ensure the longevity of the tent. In order not to be
surprised by a sudden heavy downpour with wetness inside the tent when using
it for the first time or after a longer period of storage, it has proven
useful to „water“ cotton tents manually before use. To do this, set up the
tent, water it with a garden hose and let it dry again. This process can be
repeated if necessary. Tent impregnation can be helpful so that water beads
off the fabric and the fabric does not soak up so intensively. Especially with
cotton, this is also associated with a significant difference in weight.
However, since the breathability should not be lost, it is recommended to use
a water-based impregnating that does not seal the pores of the material.
The seams of the cotton blend tents are not sealed with seam tape.
Instead, a cotton or synthetic thread is used that swells to seal the pinholes. However, if water drops do enter the tent through slightly too large holes, applying a seam sealer to the leaking area will help.
NOTE!
Improper handling of the tent can lead to damage.
- Never wash the tent in a washing machine. Otherwise, the waterproofness may be negatively affected.
- Never use petrol, solvents or other aggressive cleaning agents, brushes with metal or nylon bristles or sharp or metallic cleaning objects such as knives, hard spatulas and the like. Otherwise there is a risk of damage to the product.
- Never have the tent dry cleaned.
- Remove dirt from the tent with a soft sponge and clean water.
- Allow all parts to dry thoroughly before repacking the tent. This prevents mould, odour and material discoloration. Cotton is more susceptible to mildew & mold growth than synthetics.
