which
is
the result of storing your unit

tent fabric is
a
strong, durable three-layer
polypropylene laminate which resists common stains, soil, mildew
and rot. When soiling does occur,
the
problem
can
usually
be
corrected
by
the following procedures:
Light
brushing with a soft rag wiiI remove most
dirt.
For persistent soils:
1.
Wet soiled
fabric
with water;
2.
Wash with non-detergent Ivory soap, work into
a
lather and
with
a
sponge, lightly work the lather into
the
soiled area;
3.
Rinse
thoroughly
with copius amounts of water to remove ail
residue soap. Residual soap can cause fabric leakage.
4.
Air
dry
completely.
E
slight
fabric
leaking persists due to presence
of
residual soap, the
area may
be
treated with water repellent such as
3M
Scotch Guard
Fabric Protector.
The above procedure
may
also be used to correct spot
fabric
leaking
caused
by
accidental contact with insect repellents and sprays.
Products containing sarfactants, eg. insect repellents,
suntan
02s
can
cause a loss of
water
repellency. This
can
easily
be
corrected by
following the washlng instructions outlined above.
CAUTION:
Always
be
sure
the canvas
is
completely
dry
bef~xe storing.
Mildew
can start
within
24-48
hours after closing camper
