We unroll and inspect every single piece of fabric that comes through our facility. The inspection process is done to locate any heavily soiled areas that may need to be pre-treated to begin the cleaning process before it even reaches the machine. If your ropes are still attached, they are gathered into a small roll and fastened with zip ties to prevent them from tangling during the wash cycle. We then fold the section, set it into the machine and begin the wash cycle. The tents are removed and checked to ensure a thorough cleaning, then they are hung in our spacious drying area until they are completely dry. When dry, they are rolled according to your instructions.
Once your tent arrives we take it out of the bag and pre-treat it if necessary. From here we “fan fold” the tent prior to entering the wash to ensure that all areas of the tents are washed evenly. We also remove all straps and throw them in with the wash cycle so they go through the same cleaning process on their own, for a superior clean.
Once the tent has been folded properly, the tent is loaded into the Teeco washing machine. Before starting the cycle we throw in a specially formulated soap mix designed specifically for tents and industrial fabrics.
Upon completion of the wash cycle, which can range anywhere from 30-60 minutes, we drain all of the water to ensure the dirt and excess has been removed from the tent. Once the dirty water has been completely drained, we do 2 rinses without soap to get maximum results.
After the initial wash and rinses are complete, the tops are inspected to make sure they have come clean to the standards of Clean Tent Canada.
Once inspected the
tops are now ready to be hung to dry. Our large warehouse enables us to
hang numerous tops at once allowing for large volume. Not only is the warehouse
heated, but we hang the tops for a minimum of 3 – 4 days as well industrial
fans to get all the moisture out of the tops, including webbing and ropes.
