CARE & MAINTENANCE TIPS
🧼 Cleaning Your Tent
Learn how to gently clean your tent without damaging the waterproof coating, plus tips for removing dirt, stains, and mildew.
1. Shake Off Dirt & Debris
Before packing up, shake out loose dirt, sand, and leaves to prevent buildup. For stubborn debris, use a soft brush or damp cloth.
2. Spot Clean When Needed
- Use lukewarm water and mild, non-detergent soap (no bleach or harsh chemicals).
- Gently wipe dirty areas with a sponge or microfiber cloth.
- Avoid scrubbing aggressively, as it can damage the waterproof coating.
3. Rinse & Air Dry
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.
- Always air dry completely before storing to prevent mold and mildew.
- Never use a washing machine, dryer, or power washer—these can damage the fabric and seams.
🌦️ Waterproofing & Weather Protection
Find out how to test, maintain, and reapply waterproofing to keep your tent dry in all conditions.
1. Regularly Check Waterproofing
- Your PFAS-free polyester tent has a PU (polyurethane) coating for water resistance.
- Over time, water repellency may fade, so test by spraying water—if it absorbs instead of beading up, it’s time to refresh it.
2. Reapply Waterproofing When Needed
- Use a PFAS-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray.
- Apply to a clean, dry tent and let it air dry fully.
- Focus on high-wear areas like the rainfly, seams, and floor.
3. Seam Sealing
- Seams come factory-sealed, but over time they may need touch-ups.
- Apply a PU-compatible seam sealer on any worn areas.
- Let it cure for 24 hours before packing or using the tent.
⛺ Storing Your Tent Properly
Discover the best way to pack, store, and protect your tent from mold, mildew, and fabric damage.
1. Always Store It Dry
- A damp tent = mold and mildew—make sure it’s 100% dry before packing.
- If you must pack it damp, air it out as soon as possible.
2. Store Loosely, Not Compressed
- Long-term compression can damage the waterproof coating and fabric integrity.
- Store in a large breathable bag (like a mesh or cotton sack) instead of the tight stuff sack.
3. Keep It in a Cool, Dry Place
- Avoid humid areas like basements.
- Don’t store in direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can weaken fabric and coatings.
🚨 Avoiding Common Tent Care Mistakes
❌ Never machine wash or tumble dry your tent.
❌ Don’t use household cleaners, bleach, or fabric softener.
❌ Avoid long-term sun exposure—UV rays weaken polyester over time.
❌ Don’t store it wet or tightly compressed.
By following these simple care tips, your 190T Polyester PFAS-Free tent will stay waterproof, strong, and adventure-ready for years to come! 🌿🏕️

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does the inner bedroom have vents if its supposed to insulate?
The vents in the inner tent are designed to balance insulation and breathability. While the Duo GS Maxx provides thermal regulation, proper airflow is essential to prevent condensation and ensure a comfortable sleeping environment. The vents allow controlled ventilation without compromising the insulation.
Does the tent block sound?
The Duo GS Maxx slightly reduces decibel levels, helping dampen outside noise. However, it is not designed for full soundproofing. To completely block sound, you would need specialized materials with mass-loaded barriers, which are not practical for a camping tent.
What causes condensation in my tent, and how do I resolve it?
Condensation occurs when warm air inside the tent meets the cooler fabric, leading to moisture buildup. This can be caused by:
- Breathing, cooking, or wet gear inside the tent
- Lack of airflow trapping humidity
- Cool temperatures outside vs. warmth inside
🔹 How to Reduce Condensation:
- Keep the vents open for better airflow.
- Avoid bringing wet gear inside.
- Use a groundsheet that matches the tent size to minimize moisture from the ground.
- If possible, pitch the tent in a well-ventilated area.
My tent fabric has faded and turned paper-like – what happened?
This is due to prolonged direct UV exposure. While the Duo GS Maxx fabric is durable, extended exposure to the sun’s UV rays breaks down the material, causing it to fade and become brittle. To extend your tent’s lifespan:
- Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Use a UV-protective spray if you expect long-term sun exposure.
- Avoid leaving the tent pitched for extended periods.
Can I leave my tent up permanently?
No, the Duo GS Maxx is a leisure tent, not designed for permanent setup. Prolonged exposure to the elements—sun, rain, wind, and humidity—will degrade the fabric, seams, and waterproofing over time. If you need a tent for long-term outdoor use, consider a more robust, heavy-duty structure built for extended exposure.
