Important instructions for cleaning marine canvas and PVC

• One 2,5-liter bottle of 123 Alpha Fabric Cleaner is sufficient for cleaning 35-40 square meters of tent fabric.

• This fabric cleaner will not remove mildew or mold (“weathering”) from the fabric.

• Spray 123 Alpha Fabric Cleaner onto the surface and allow it to soak in. Then work it with a brush or the 123 Tent Brush. After cleaning, rinse the fabric thoroughly using a garden hose with spray nozzle.

• If running water is not available, we do not recommend using 123 Alpha, as you won't be able to rinse away the soap residue properly.

• 123 Alpha has an unlimited shelf life if stored frost-free.

• Always treat a complete surface (panel, wall, or roof). Do not use it for spot-cleaning small stains such as grease or bird droppings. Note: bird droppings contain acids that can cause localized fading. Leaf mold residue is also non-removable.

• Note: 123 Alpha may affect the existing waterproof coating. For fabrics older than 8 years, waterproofing after cleaning is not guaranteed.

• Please read the full instructions below before using the cleaner.

Instructions for using 123 Alpha Fabric Cleaner

Ensure the fabric is properly tensioned. Pre-wet the fabric with water, then mist a thin, even layer of Sjippie over the surface.
Brush the surface with a clean tent brush. Do not allow the cleaner to dry—keep misting with water to maintain moisture. Let the foam sit briefly. Then rinse thoroughly with plenty of water using a strong spray jet.
If you have time to let the fabric dry, you may apply Fabric Waterproofing DRY after 36 hours.

NOTE: Cleaning your tent while camping is only feasible if you have access to a garden hose. Other rinsing methods are insufficient—therefore, we strongly advise against it under such conditions.
