Use this handy wash to clean away any dirt and marks on your tent while it’s up.
Use with a clean non abrasive sponge and as per the instructions for hand wash on the bottle or use it neat in some places for a deeper clean. This product increases the fabric’s resistance to UV light and revitalises water-repellency.
Please note this cleaner is useful for small areas only and not if your whole tent canvas needs cleaning. If after use the water stops beading on your tent in the rain it maybe time for a reproof.

Our tents are designed for occasional camping use for the leisure industry. They are not designed to be left up for continuously long periods of time, therefore our warranty does not cover them for this.
However, many people choose to leave them up and they can last being left up for longer. The longevity of the tents depends on how well they are looked after and where they are sited.
If you have anymore questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!
Bell tents are manufactured from 100% cotton canvas and this is inherently waterproof. When the tent is used on the first few occasion the cotton fibres expand and knit together to create the waterproof fabric. If you are unfortunate enough to be subject to a torrential downpour on the first use of your tent you may experience small leaks particularly around the seam areas. This is perfectly normal and will subside after a couple of uses.
Generally the fibres expand in normal damp conditions and no leaking occurs. If looked after properly your Life Under Canvas Bell Tent should last years and years.
