Dirty Tent? How to make sure rentals are always ready for show!

Once all of an event’s arrangements have been made, final details approved, and contracts signed, there’s not much to do besides wait with anticipation for the big day. Imagine the disappointment if the rental tents were set up and looked dingy, used, and even stained! Tents that aren’t properly cleaned, maintained, and stored can quickly show signs of wear and tear, and as a custom rental tent is typically where the main attraction of events are showcased, a dirty presentation can instantly diminish the impression and value of the entire soiree. How should tent rental companies clean and maintain their tents?

Maintaining Vinyl Tents

When rental tents are returned from an event, they should be fully inspected by the company for signs of wear, damage, or discoloration. If any cleaning or repairs are necessary, these should be done in a clean indoor space. While some smaller companies will only sweep, spot treat or power wash their tents, a larger, reputable custom rental tent manufacturer will have the tools necessary to perform a complete washing for bright, spotless products.

How Tents are Worn

In most cases, rental tents are secured to provide event attendees with some shelter from the elements, and it’s exactly these elements that can compromise the cleanliness of the material.

• Tents are set up on grass or other natural surfaces, and deposits can easily stain the surfaces
• If tents are placed under trees, falling fruits or leaves can stick to surfaces causing stains
• Rain or other residue moisture can become a factor for mold growth and discoloration if tents are not correctly hung and dried before storage

How Tents are Washed

When custom rental tents require thorough cleaning, industrial sized washers can quickly manage very large loads, so there is no delay in turnaround for upcoming events.

• Concentrated, tent specific cleansers provide an optimum clean while maintaining the integrity and luster of the tent material
• Washed tents are hung by large trusses and pulley systems to be dried completely before storage

How Tents are Stored

After tents are repaired, cleaned and ready for storage, they should be placed in labeled, dust free storage box or bag. Efficient, protective storage of custom rental tents ensures that the tent you order is the one that will be delivered, and that during loading and transport, no compromising issues will arise.
