Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Tent Care Kit is designed for all tent owners looking to maintain and extend the lifespan of their equipment. Its key benefit is providing an all-in-one solution for cleaning and re-waterproofing, ensuring your tent stays functional and protected. A potential caveat is that the specific formulas are optimized for tarpaulin materials, so test on less visible areas of mixed-material tents first. The kit includes a non-scratch sponge, tarpaulin cleaner, and a re-waterproofing spray, all formulated to be PFC-free.

FAQs

Is this kit suitable for synthetic tents?

While the kit is designed for tarpaulin materials, it is generally suitable for most synthetic tent fabrics. However, we recommend testing the cleaner and spray on a small, hidden area first to ensure compatibility.

How often should I re-waterproof my tent?

The frequency depends on usage and environmental exposure. For tents used regularly, re-waterproofing once a year or after significant wear is recommended. If you notice water no longer beading on the surface, it's time to reapply.

Can I use this kit on my waterproof jacket?

This kit is specifically formulated for tent materials. For outdoor apparel, it is best to use cleaning and waterproofing products designed for technical fabrics.

What does PFC-free mean?

PFC-free means the product does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used in waterproofing treatments but can be harmful to the environment. This formula is an environmentally conscious alternative.

How much cleaner and spray is included?

The kit includes 225ml of tarpaulin cleaner and 225ml of re-waterproofing spray.

Do I need to wash my tent before applying the re-waterproofing spray?

Yes, for best results, the tent should be clean and completely dry before applying the re-waterproofing spray. This ensures even absorption and maximum effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

Tent still leaks after using the spray.

Ensure the tent was completely clean and dry before application. Apply a second, even coat of the re-waterproofing spray, ensuring full coverage. Check for any seam damage that may require separate seam sealing.

Cleaner is not removing stubborn stains.

Allow the cleaner to sit on the stain for a few minutes before scrubbing. For very old or tough stains, a slightly more concentrated application (while still being gentle) may be needed. Repeat the cleaning process if necessary.

Sponge is becoming stiff.

Rinse the sponge thoroughly with clean water after each use and allow it to air dry. Do not use harsh detergents on the sponge itself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: This kit is designed for use on all types of tents, with a specific emphasis on tarpaulin materials. Always test the cleaner and spray on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially if your tent uses mixed materials.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use the provided sponge and a bucket of clean water. For tougher grime, apply a small amount of the tarpaulin cleaner directly to the sponge or the affected area. Gently scrub the tent surface. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
  2. Re-waterproofing: Ensure the tent is clean and dry before application. Hold the re-waterproofing spray approximately 15-20cm away from the fabric. Apply an even, light coat. Allow the tent to air dry completely (this may take several hours) before folding or storing.
  3. Storage: Store the kit components in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
