Pro Tips
- It's important to never use hot water when cleaning your tent or camping gear—it can damage the fabric.
- Always test a small, hidden area first when using rubbing alcohol to be sure it won't damage the fabric.
- For tough, set-in stains, a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water may help.
