Maintenance and care of outdoor tents

After use, promptly clean the inner and outer tents, tent pegs, and poles to remove mud, grass, dust, and other debris. When cleaning, it's best to rinse with water or gently wipe by hand; avoid using a washing machine or brush to prevent damage to the outer coating. Use a neutral detergent for cleaning. After cleaning, allow the tent to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight; natural air drying is recommended.

Tent poles must be stored separately from the tent fabric to avoid puncturing the fabric. Hiking boots should not be worn inside the tent, as mud or small stones on the soles will contaminate and abrade the bottom layer. Remove raincoats and wet clothing before entering the inner tent; keep the inside as dry as possible. Regularly airing the tent can prevent mold growth.

When packing up, fold the tent randomly and reasonably, avoiding always folding it along fixed creases. After packing, avoid placing heavy objects on top. The storage environment should be dry, well-ventilated, and away from light. Avoid long-term compression during storage. Hang the tent in a well-ventilated area whenever possible; do not seal it.

Tents that have been stored for more than 3 months should be unfolded once a month to check whether the fabric is moldy and whether the frame is rusty.
