I agree with Niels. Donīt clean your tent, except it is easily possible and useful. On mine there are several "scars" of dirt. Useless to fight against them. But another point is when the tent gets ill: Last year the tents ground was "over the Jordan". PU (polyurethane) coated nylon, the PU had gone and on wet surfaces, it became as wet as outside, Uaaah! So I cut the complete ground out, bought a cheap new silicon coated tarp (3x3m), and sew the tarp as the new ground to the tent (with the correct form, for sure). So, my Sherpa Dome is now ready for further years on this planet. Next problem will be the zippers, they nearby shot down. This kind of work I really hate! But cleaning? Place it in the Sun, the light and the heat will burn out all kind of smell and less harmful dirt. bye Jochen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
