Things that will cause premature degradation and reduced life expectancy of your tents:
• Improper handling during installation/dismantling on rough surfaces will create pinholes and abrasions. ALWAYS USE A DROP
CLOTH/GROUND CLOTH DURING INSTALLATION AND DISMANTLING.
• Walking on the fabric during installation/dismantling will create pinholes and abrasions.
• Accumulation of dirt on the vinyl surface will promote the growth of mold and mildew and premature wear.
• Storage of vinyl that has not been dried thoroughly. Even a slightly damp product can promote the growth of mildew when folded and
stored. Mold and mildew may require harsh cleaners to remove, which may cause premature wear. The best solution is to take every
precaution to keep mold and mildew from growing in the first place. NEVER STORE A TENT, CANOPY, STRUCTURE, OR SHELTER IN A WET OR
DAMP CONDITION.
• Harsh detergents and cleaners, which contain a solvent or bleach. The longer the exposure of PVC vinyl to these products, the more it will
reduce the life of the PVC vinyl.
• High-abrasive cleaners, including wire brushes, power wasters and/or commercial washing machines will result in premature wear and
deterioration of tent fabrics.
• Wind whip – Loosely tensioned fabric that whips in the wind will damage over time
