Best Practices for storing your Tent or Changing Bag

Follow these simple tips to extend the lifespan of your Harrison Film Changing Tent or Harrison Film Changing Bag

1.  Dry your tent completely after using it. Set the Tent up for a day or so with zippers open to dry completely before you store it.
2. Hand-wash with mild soap. The agitation of a washing machine can damage the fabric. Use a mild liquid soap clean the Tent, and no other cleaning products. If you don’t have liquid soap, a little shampoo will work
3. Set your tent up with zippers open to dry. Check the inside of the two layers to make sure it is dry between the layers.
4. Store loosely in a cardboard box when you aren’t traveling- only use the stuff sack supplied when traveling with your Tent.
5. You can also add desiccant packs to the cardboard box to make sure the tent stays dry in humid environments.
6. Store in an area with no extreme temperature variations. Inside is best. Hot garage or car truck is no bueno. This can damage the fabric over time.
