Maintaining Your Tent
To clean, spread out canopy on clean surface. Use mild detergent or industrial cleaner that does not contain
bleach. Small rocks and pebbles may create holes in fabric when stepped on. Cleaning the tent while assembled is
recommended. Allow detergent to sit for a while on stubborn areas. Pressure washers are not recommended on tops.
Allow the tent to thoroughly dry before repacking. Dampness may cause mildew or discolor the surfaces. Store your
tent in a clean, dry area.

Remove mildew if detected. There is no way to prevent mold and mildew from growing
once it is prevalent. No tent can be guaranteed not to mildew.
The Insignia tent is make of waterproof materials with welded seams. Some condensation
may occur inside poorly vented tents.
The insignia tent tops and walls are fire retardant. All tent fabric will satisfy ULC-S109,
NFPA 701 and California fire marshal tests.
All Insignia tents are made from fabrics chosen for stability and consistency. Usage and
exposure may affect the finish over time.
The translucent fabrics will remain flexible at temperatures below 0°F. The opaque
fabrics are laminated and therefore become stiffer as the temperature drops. When the
temperature is near 32°F, care should be taken in folding or moving the fabric to prevent
cracking.
