Q.
We need to have our caravan tent cleaned, please can you furnish us with details where we can have this done. The tent is too large to pitch in our yard to clean. We live on the Westrand, Gauteng.
A.
Please, under no circumstances can a tent be washed.
The only way to revive the tent is as follows:
1) Open the tent on the lawn.
2) Let the sun bake the tent as dry as possible.
3) Buy a brand new nail brush. Old nail brushes always have soap residue and renders the waterproofing null and void.
4) Brush off from the canvas section as much as you can without rubbing – whatever remains behind is now part of the tent’s character.
5) The plastic mudskirts can be wiped with a damp cloth but try and keep as far away as possible from the canvas section if you have soap on the cloth.
