๐งฝ How to Clean and Care for Your Custom Tent from UpsideDown Event Tents
Keep your custom canopy looking sharp, lasting longer, and turning heads at every event with these easy care tips.

Your custom pop-up tent isn’t just a canopy—it's a professional representation of your brand. Whether you’re vending at a farmers market, hosting a booth at a festival, or showcasing your products at a trade show, keeping your tent looking fresh and clean matters.
At UpsideDown Event Tents LLC, we believe that quality care preserves not only your investment but your brand's presentation. Here’s our simple, effective guide for cleaning and caring for your custom tent.
Why Tent Maintenance Matters
Our tents are made with
600D waterproof Oxford fabric,
fire-retardant coatings, and
vibrant full-color dye sublimation—but even the most rugged materials can wear down if not cared for properly. Dirt, dust, and mildew can dull your design, weaken the fabric, and reduce your tent’s lifespan.
Routine cleaning ensures your setup continues to look sharp, function well, and reflect the professionalism your brand deserves.
๐งผ Step-by-Step: How to Clean Your Custom Tent
1.
Shake Off & Inspect
After every use:
- Gently brush or shake off dirt, leaves, or debris from the canopy and frame.
- Give your canopy a quick once-over to look for small tears or signs of wear.
2.
Set Up for Cleaning
- Assemble your tent fully in an open space.
- This makes it easier to access all fabric surfaces and ensure a thorough rinse and dry.
3.
Rinse with Gentle Pressure
- Use a garden hose (no pressure washers!) to rinse away loose dirt.
- Avoid sharp streams that could damage stitching or waterproof coatings.
4.
Use a Mild Cleaning Solution
- Mix lukewarm water with a small amount of non-detergent soap or mild dish soap.
- Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals—they can strip protective layers and fade your design.
5. Wipe with a Soft Cloth
- Use a non-abrasive sponge or microfiber towel to gently clean the canopy, valances, and sidewalls.
- Pay extra attention to printed areas and spots where dirt accumulates.
6. Final Rinse
- Hose down the tent again with clean water to remove any remaining soap residue.
๐ฌ๏ธ Drying & Storage
Let It Breathe
- Air-dry your tent while it’s still set up to ensure every surface dries completely.
- Avoid folding or bagging your canopy if it's even slightly damp—moisture leads to mold.
Store Smart
- Once fully dry, fold and store the tent in its breathable carry bag.
- Keep it in a cool, dry area—no basements or garages with heavy moisture.
- Never store it in plastic or sealed containers that can trap humidity.
