Cleaning and impregnation tent
canvas
Instructions for how to impregnate Adventure tipis of cotton/polyester fabric
with NIKWAX Cotton Proof
1. Limit the work area so you treat one part at a time. Place the clean part of the tent canvas that is to be impregnated on a flat
surface. With larger Nordic tipis, it is best to take one panel at a time.
2. Dilute the agent as stated in the guide below. Lukewarm water must be used for diluting NIKWAX Cotton Proof.
3. For the best results, the area to be treated should be damp since this will help the impregnating agent to penetrate the fabric. Apply
the diluted impregnating agent evenly on the outside of the canvas. Use a good-quality cellulose sponge and work the impregnating
agent into the canvas.
4. Make sure there are no areas that have been missed.
5. After a few minutes, wipe off excess agent using a damp towel. This will prevent any patches from forming.
6. Allow the tent to be air dried. Before packing away, make sure the tent is fully dried.

Cleaning Adventure tipis (lightweight fabric)
Tentipi recommend using NIKWAX Tent & Gear Solarwash for cleaning our lightweight tipis and it also protects against UV deterioration.
Use gloves when cleaning.
1. Limit the work area so you treat one part at a time. Place the part of the tent that is to be cleaned on a flat surface. With larger Nordic
tipis, it is best to take one panel at a time.
2. Spray evenly to outside of fabric. Use approximately 50 ml of product per 1 m
2
of fabric, depending on the condition of the fabric being
treated.
3. Rub in well with a damp cloth/sponge, paying attention to dirty areas.
4. Rinse with clean water using a cloth or sponge.
5. Allow the tent to be air dried. Before packing away, make sure the tent is fully dried.
Cleaning Adventure tipis (cotton/polyester fabric)
Tentipi recommend that stains on the canvas are removed using warm water and possibly yellow or green soft soap (“såpa”). If the canvas is
cleaned with other agents than lukewarm water, the original impregnation will be removed and the tent canvas will have to be re-impregnated.
Allow the tent to be air dried. Before packing away, make sure the tent is fully dried.
