How to clean a tent that smells

Imagine the scenario. You’re about to set off on your next camping trip, whether that’s in the UK or further afield, so you get together all your camping gear for a final inspection only to discover your tent has become rather pungent while in storage.

The reason for this, most likely, is because of moisture. This is probably because the tent was packed away while it was still damp or moisture has crept in while it’s been in storage.

Of course, the British weather doesn’t happen with the more than occasional downpour often interrupting camping trips, but also remember that tents can get damp in fine conditions from things such as morning dew.

Even a small amount of moisture can allow mildew or mould to start to grow in your tent, only to your dismay when you come to unpack it.

Imagine another scenario. You’re actually on your camping trip when a spill, or perhaps damp conditions, make the inside of a tent a rather smelly habitat!

Preventing your tent from smelling

Stopping a tent from smelling in the first place is the best course of action. Make sure to remove any debris that is inside the tent and, as previously mentioned, make sure the tent is completely dry before packing it away.

A thorough airing can also work wonders. This can be done a few days before a camping trip and allows the air to flow through the tent fibres, helping to remove any unwanted smells.

Also, if possible on the camping trip, try to stop shoes and food from entering the tent, rather than dealing with any problems that this may cause.

Help is on hand

Whatever the situation, you want to banish that unwanted smell so you can enjoy your time away, hopefully in dry conditions!

Using an enzyme cleaner spray, such as Bio one™, is the ideal odour remover and perfectly suited to help keep your tent smelling fresh. What’s more, Bio one™ only contains natural ingredients and is chemical free, so its environmental credentials are second-to-none.

For peak performance, the enzymes need to be allowed to work for at least 5 to 10 minutes, so spray the infected area or areas and allow the enzymes to perform their magic as they remove the unwanted bacteria.

Unseen to the naked eye, the enzymatic compounds break down the core components of stains and remove the smell completely rather than just masking them, so they won’t return.

Using an enzyme cleaner such as Bio one™ is incredibly easy and cost efficient. Remember that just one concentrated bottle makes 2.1 litres of solution, that is over 8 bottles.

So after you’ve sprayed where you need to, give it one last scrub and simply leave it to dry in the first instance. Remember though, as previously mentioned, if putting the tent back into storage to make sure it is completely dry throughout before packing it back up.

Thanks to Bio one™, whatever was causing the smell should now be gone and be replaced with a fragrant smell of lemon, orange and neroli flower. Much more pleasant, we’re sure you’ll agree!

What are enzymes?

Don’t be fooled to think that because enzymes are natural they are less effective than chemical cleaners. Enzymes are nature’s very own powerful cleaning tools. Making them the go to choice for customers who do not want to spray harmful chemicals around their home and personal items.

Simply put, enzymes are all around us performing millions of important tasks in our bodies and in nature every single day. They are a type of protein that act like a biological catalyst to speed up the break down of organic compounds.

Similarly to how saliva, (which contains enzymes), initiates the digestion process by breaking down food in our mouths, cleaning enzymes use the same ‘enzymatic digestion’ to effectively break down and eradicate the organic proteins present in urine, faeces, vomit, drool, dirt, food, and more.

This process not only makes cleaning easier but also prevents the growth of bad bacteria – the root cause of those unpleasant odours – in the air, on surfaces, and within the fibres of your soft furnishings.
