Maintenance Tips for Peak Season

As the first half of the season comes to an end and the real rush of summer bookings begins, there is no time like the present for a mid-season refresh! Whether your tents have endured minor dirt, unpleasant odors, or more stubborn issues like mildew, if your tents have been up for three or more months, it's time to give them some love.

1. Regular Cleaning:

   • Exterior: Gently wash the tent fabric with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the tent material, and instead use our recommended cleaning brand, Nikwax, which currently have 10% with code 'MIDSZN1O'.
   • Interior: Sweep out debris, and spot clean any stains on the groundsheet and inner walls. Remember to air out your tents whenever possible to keep the space ventilated and odour-free.
     
     

2. Inspect for Damage:

   • Seams and Zippers: Check for any tears or loose threads, and repair them promptly to prevent further damage. Don't forget, we carefully packed your tent with a spares bag, make use of the savvy items in this kit!
   • Poles and Pegs: Ensure all structural components are in good condition. Replace any bent or broken poles and pegs.
   • Professional Repairing: If your tent's damage is critical or feels near impossible to fix yourself, get in touch with www.citcamping.co.uk. They are the magicians of tent repair!
     
     

3. Waterproofing:

   • Apply a waterproofing treatment to the exterior of the tent if you notice any leaks or diminished water repellency. This will keep your guests dry and comfortable. This can be done with our range of Nikwax products, which currently have 10% with code 'MIDSZN1O'.
     
     

4. Ventilation:

   • Make sure all ventilation points are unobstructed to prevent condensation build-up inside the tent, ensuring a fresh and pleasant environment for your guests. We advise airing the tent out daily, either by opening up the doors or the windows. For extreme cases, you can unzip the groundsheets of all Boutique Camping tents!
     
     

5. Pest Control:

   • Regularly check for signs of pests and take preventive measures, such as using insect repellent sprays and sealing any small openings. Due to the nature of the locations our tents find themselves pitched in, mice, frogs, foxes and other animals can find their ways to nested beneath the tents, often biting through the groundsheet. To avoid this, we suggest pitching your tents on a Groundsheet Protector. 
     
     

Enhancing the Guest Experience

1. Comfort Upgrades:

   • Provide additional amenities such as cozy bedding, ambient lighting, and stylish furnishings to make your tents feel more like a home away from home. We know even the hottest of summer days can end with chilly nights, we have fire pits, wood burning stoves, and pizza ovens to ensure your guests stay toasty both inside and outside of their tent.
     
     

2. Unique Themes:

   • Consider decorating your tents with unique themes to stand out. This could be anything from boho-chic and rustic countryside aesthetics to party packages catered to kids who are celebrating their birthdays with a camping adventure. Themed decor can enhance the visual appeal and create a memorable experience for your guests. 
     
     

3. Guest Feedback:

   • Encourage feedback from your guests and use it to improve your services. Happy customers are likely to leave positive reviews and recommend your site to others.
