Use clean tap water with mild detergent and soft bristle brush, then rinse thoroughly to
remove all soap residue.
DO NOT USE HARSH DETERGENTS, SOAPS OR SOLVENTS SINCE THEY MAY
REMOVE WATER REPELLENCY.
DO NOT USE AEROSOL TYPE CLEANERS.
DO NOT USE INSECT REPELLENT AROUND FABRICS SINCE AN AGENT USED IN
MOST WILL DAMAGE OR DESTROY WATER REPELLENT FINISHES.
Check interior for any leakage after rinse and allow to thoroughly air dry.
Upon completion of each cleaning it may again be necessary to apply 3M Scotch Guard
Protector for fabric, to assure water repellency if cleaning process has removed it.

3.
DO thoroughly clean whenever bird droppings, tree sap or dirt becomes apparent.
DO apply Scotch Guard Fabric Protector any time accidental contact with Insect Repellent,
Hair Spray or Suntan Lotion occurs.
DO NOT fold down unit wet for any extended period of time. If canvas must be stored wet,
open unit to thoroughly dry as soon as possible.
DO NOT allow the sun to dry moisture (rain or dew) into vinyl. Moisture combined with dust
and dirt will result in stains which will be almost impossible to remove.
