How to clean tents, sails etc...

[Wolf Knight]

Thanks for you ideas UnaSigne! I have the 3550 sails and my idea was exactly like yours...to soak them in cold water but with a little cloth soap. I did put the royal tend in warm water with a little soap and it did indeed clean a little...I will srab it a bit now with a soft brash...

well, not much luck... the stains were not removed, and the signs (dirt from playing especially around the edges...) did not come off!! The material smells wanderfull form the soap but you can still see the dirt...

Well...the photos are not too good, but the dirt is still there, especially around the edges...

Yes it was available through DS....unfortunately, i did not see the necesity to buy it since it did not have the klickies... now i regret that...

Thanks for your suggestion Alex but I think vanish is quite strong for this material...

In my opinion a bit of dirt adds charachter to these items. IRL they never stay spotless clean either. Trust me I would like mine clean (and the hole I could do without as well) but I do think a bit of history to the items helps :-)

Yes you're probably right! It does add character...  Oh well, I can still try and get this one (see attached photo) to compensate.

Yes I know of it Alex! I have it in my watched items too  I think its worth the money, and since I have one already, If I ever get this one i'll keep it closed!

BTW, I've found and bought a 7856 today for 10 euros
