Maintenance

Periodically clean the canvas to prevent dirt and grime build-up. Dirt and grime build-up may penetrate the

fabric. Use a soft bristled brush, sponge or clean cloths to remove dirt from the fabric before washing.

Care and Maintenance

To preserve the integrity of the canvas and extend its lifespan, use the following guidelines when caring for

thecanvas:

• Inspect and treat the canvas every 12-14 months.

• Treat clean seams with high quality seam seal.

• Allow seam seal to completely dry before closing top.

• If needed, apply Kiwi®Camp Dry water repellent, or equivalent quality, spray to thecanvas.

Do NOT close or store a wet canvas. Closing or storing a wet or damp canvas can cause damage

to the material and void the warranty. Make sure the canvas is completely dry before closing

or storing.

Do NOT use harsh soaps and detergents. Harsh soaps and detergents can cause damage to the

water repellent treatment of the canvas. Use a small amount of mild soap or detergent to prevent

damaging the water repellent treatment of the canvas.

Note: Use care when cleaning the Pop Up Roof System. Using harsh detergents and hard bristled brushes

can damage the roof's canvas material.

• Only use clean water.

• Gently clean the canvas by hand.

• Test all cleaning products prior to use. Apply a small amount of the cleaning product to an

inconspicuous area.

Note: Canvas MUST be completely dry before closing/storing pop up roof.

Cleaning External Pop Up Roof Surfaces

• Use a small amount of mild, Eco-friendly detergent to prevent damaging the pop up's material and to

protect the environment.

• When using a hose or power sprayer, make sure to use a weak jet stream of clean water.

• Use a clean, soft sponge. Rinse sponge often.

• Rinse washed surfaces clean with plenty of clean water.

• Allow the roof to completely dry before closing the pop up roof.

Cleaning Internal Pop Up Roof Surfaces

• Use a clean, soft cloth and mild, eco-friendly detergents.

• Allow internal surfaces to completely dry before using the sleeping area or closing the pop up roof.

• Immediately treat any stains on the fabric covering the roof.

– Absorb stains without rubbing.

– Do not use harsh detergents.
