Before you start cleaning, make sure you have the right supplies. Here's what you'll need:
Before you start scrubbing, it's best to do a pre-clean to loosen up the stain. This is especially important for any dried-on feces.
Mix together ½ cup laundry detergent and 1 cup white vinegar in a bowl. Then pour the mixture into spray bottle. Spray the mixture onto the affected area and let it sit for at least 10 minutes before moving on to next step.
Once the pre-clean is done, it's time to scrub away the stain. To keep yourself safe, put on your rubber gloves and protective eyewear. Then, using your damp cloth or sponge, gently scrub away the stain. Be sure to rinse regularly to avoid any soap residue left behind.
If the stain is still visible, you can repeat pre-clean and scrubbing process as needed.
Once you've successfully removed the stain, rinse area with clean water. Then leave your tent or camping gear to air dry completely. If odor persists, you can spray a deodorizer onto the affected area.
Unwanted feces stains can really put a damper on your outdoor fun. But with the right supplies and a bit of elbow grease, you can safely get rid of those unsightly marks and enjoy a clean, odor-free camping experience. Just remember to take the proper safety precautions and be sure to air dry your tent and camping gear fully before any future adventures.
