Can anyone recommend the best way to clean a tent and with what, we got mud from walking on it to guide the poles in. We got a Gelert Satellite deluxe.

We had to put up two Sunday ago in the wind. We were very impressed with how it stood up to the wind and very heavy rain.

Just cold water and a sponge then rinse it off and make sure the tent is dry before you put it away.

Hope you took your shoes off before you walked on it

Thanks for that Magnolia. It was very muddy, the car got stuck driving into our pitch, which we had to get towed out, before putting the tent up. We only stayed in the tent one night and then moved to a carvan. But the tent was up for about four days as if was raining all the time so was unable to take it down. We decided to move when we came back and the duck were swimming less than a meter from the front door.
