Do not use detergent at any time as this can seriously damage the
waterproof qualities of the canvas. We also strongly advise you not to
purchase any of the cleaning detergents for canvases which are available
at your camping stores, as these damage the waterproofing qualities of
the canvas.
The seams on the inside of the awning are provided with
a transparent, protective tape.
Re-impregnating the canvas afterwards will often not deliver the desired
effect. Not all stains can be removed just with clean water. Below this we
will explain how specific stains can be removed for the greater part.
7.1 Resin stains
Make sure all resin stains are cured sufficiently first. When the resin is
cured sufficiently, it can easily be ground to powder. Carefully remove
any remains with a spoon or knife and make sure you do not damage the
fabric.
7.2 Tree leaves
Tree leaves pigment can come off tree leaves leaving stains on the canvas
that are difficult to remove. Especially moist leaves tend to stick to the
fabric. So please be alert and remove leaves as soon as possible.
7.3 Grease stains
Dab butter, gravy or oil stains as soon as possible with kitchen paper. Any
remains can be removed later with the help of an iron (coolest position)
and kitchen paper. Put the paper on the concerning spot and warm the
paper with the iron so that the grease is absorbed by the paper.
7.4 Bird droppings
There is no standard method for cleaning this type of stain. The best thing
to do is to scrape or wipe the remains from the canvas as soon as possible.
Then clean the spot with lots of lukewarm water and leave any remaining
stains. Normally these remains will automatically disappear eventually.
TIP: It is preferred not to camp underneath trees that drip resin;
resin damages the canvas.
