➡️ Before leaving: take the tent out of its cover, wash it and clean off the mould
The most important step before you go camping is to take your tent out of its cover and pitch it. Whether it’s in your lounge, garage, garden, or even in a public park if you don’t have enough space, it’s the best way to check it’s overall general condition. Check every corner of your tent, as well as the proper condition of your pegs, poles and guy lines. Take the opportunity to count them to ensure none are missing. ⛺️
You’ll be able to take the opportunity to revise the tent’s assembly and disassembly, all at leisure and if necessary, by watching the dedicated video. Don’t deprive yourself of this help before you depart, especially since you may not have a network at your camp site.
If your tent has been stored a little damp, bad odours may have developed. 🤢
If this is the case, the trick is to open the tent, then air it out well before washing it with soapy water. 🫧
Finally, the last step is just to leave it to dry properly.
Your tent may also present stains from mould. In this case, you can clean it off with a bit of water and soap before rinsing well.
