CARE INSTRUCTIONS
CANVAS CARE
We recommend that your new Nebula is thoroughly wet
down before rst use. This will ensure that your Nebula
performs well in wet weather by allowing the poly/cotton
corespun thread and canvas to swell, ensuring the take up
of any potential leaks in the stitching.
CLEANING
Clean with cold fresh clean water and a soft brush.
WARNING: DO NOT USE SOAPS OR DETERGENTS ON THE
CANVAS. DO NOT EXPOSE TO PETROLS, OILS OR HARSH
CHEMICALS.
STORING
Correct storage is vital. If the Nebula was dismantled
when wet, then it and the mattress must be dried as
soon as possible.
INCORRECT STORAGE IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.
MOISTURE/CONDENSATION
Condensation is a natural occurrence in conned areas like
swags/tents due to the body releasing more moisture than
the canvas can dispose in cold weather. To minimise the
chance of condensation, we recommend slightly opening the
window to enable airow on cold nights.
