G'Day,

Can anyone advise on how to clean tents made of synthetic material and how
often? I've been using a vacuum cleaner up to now. Likewise how to clean a
sleeping bag - or should I send it to a dry cleaners? The tent is made by
MacPac and the sleeping bag is filled with feather down. They both get aired
properly and seem reasonable after several weeks of camping. But
housekeeping guilt is setting in, making me feel that more should be done.

All the best, Peter
