Hi Guys,

Open and on honest questions how do you all clean your bivvies. Bought a new bivvy and used it the weekend. I set it up under a load of trees and I must have about 20 bird craps on it. Spend a good 30 mins trying to clean it but it won't come off. Someone mentioned mould and mildew remover but I am afraid to use since it's a new bivvy. Any ideas as help would be appreciated. Also any tips for cleaning ground sheets?

I jet wash mine with karcher k2 which is the least pressured unit. Works great. Use it for cleaning my bait buckets etc all out. I wouldnt use my k4 on it that might be too much

Warm water and pure soap added a link very cheap way of making your own universal tent cleaner as basically thats all it is

under no circumstances use any form of detergent as it WILL strip the water repellant layer !!
