Tent Care and Cleaning

For maximum life of Celina Tent fabrics, Celina Tent recommends regular cleaning with the use of a soft brush with neutral soaps or cleaners, such as Ivory dish soap, and warm water. Thorough rinsing and drying is required before storing them. 

Things that will cause premature degradation and reduced life expectancy of your tents and canopies:

Extended use of the tent without cleaning. 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/or 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.

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. If you or your customer decides to use a product containing a solvent or bleach, it is very important to remove it as quickly as possible, rinsing thoroughly and drying . 

High Abrasive Cleaners, including Wire Brushes, Power Wasters and/or Commercial Washing Machines will result in premature wear and deterioration of tent fabrics. 

Improper Handling. Installation or dismantling tents or canopies a rough surface and create pinholes and abrasion . Wind whip should also be avoided
