Below are specific care and washing instructions:

Before laundering your tarpaulin, shake off any heavy dirt and grime. Be sure to follow instructions below to avoid damaging your tarpaulin.

​You can wash tarpaulin in a tub, with cold water. Alternatively you can machine wash on a gentle cycle, cold water.  Detergent may not be needed, but if used then only use mild detergent.

DRY

IRON

WATER  REPELLENT 

machine wash

Machine wash on delicate, cold wash, using a small amount of mild liquid detergent. Rinse twice, minimize spinning to reduce creasing. Do not use powder detergents or any products that contain fabric softeners, conditioners, stain removers or bleach as they will affect product performance. Do not wash with heavily soiled clothing.

use of bleach

​Do not use chlorine bleach. Do not use harsh chemicals.

drying instructions

​Line dry your tarpaulin, or tumble dry it on a cold, delicate cycle. 
​

---

ironing

​If unable to tumble dry, iron the dry tarpaulin on gentle setting (warm, no steam) by placing a towel or cloth between the tarpaulin and the iron. This will help reactivate the DWR treatment on your tarpaulin's outer fabric.

---

water repellent

​When the factory applied treatment can no longer be reactivated, apply a new water-repellent treatment (available at local outdoor retailers) to the tarpaulin's outer fabric.
