FELDON SHELTER roof tents are made from highly breathable polycotton fabric .
It is designed to be resistant to winter condensation and humidity, but if you are not careful and leave it alone, mold will still quietly creep in .

Although you might think so, disassembling and removing a roof tent is not easy .
In fact, even professionals find it difficult to completely remove it .
That's why the most important thing to do is not to wear it .

❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. A little bit of mold has already appeared. What should I do?
A. If the damage is very slight, gently wipe it off with a solution of mild detergent diluted with water and let it dry completely. If discoloration or spreading is observed, it is safe to stop touching it and consult a professional. Avoid using bleach or alkaline detergents as they may damage the waterproof coating.
Q2. What if it rains continuously and there's no time to spread it out?
A. Even if you leave it open for a short time in a well-ventilated place, it will be effective. In a covered garage or indoor parking lot, opening the entrance a few centimeters will allow the moisture inside to escape.
Q3. Which dehumidifiers and desiccants are more effective?
A. A typical futon dehumidifier (silica gel/calcium chloride type) is effective. We recommend placing it in a waterproof bag or a pocket inside your tent. Be sure to replace it regularly after use and be careful of leaks.
Q4. What should I do if the product is damp when I store it?
A. Spread it out and let it dry completely as soon as possible. In most cases, it can be recovered within 24 hours. If it is left for a long time, there is a high possibility that mold will grow from the inside.
