Hello there,

I have an Outwell Minnesota 4 tent and would love to wash the inners as they are definitely in need of it!

Can these be machine washed with just water, low temperate and low spin cycle?

I have read lots of people saying that you shouldn't and alot of people saying that they have, but I have not seen anyone saying that they have and it went wrong.

FYI - the inners are similar to those found in most tents, I don't think that they are anything out of the ordinary.

Thanks for any advice people can give! :)

Thanks for that Andy. Do you have similar inners to the one I described?

I only ask because I am completely new to this and want to make sure I don't get it wrong! Also, some people say don't let it spin, do you let it spin? :S

Again, thank you so much for responding!

Couldn't do it on our Orchy, as the pod was sewn in. But would have if we could. Did it with our FC inners, although they were cotton.

My advice is worth no more than the price paid for it

Thank you so much for your help everyone. I would imagine they are the same Andy!

Do you ever use anything other than just water?

Not for tents but for baby items that say surface clean only , I hand wash them then spin in the washer, then peg or drape on the line. Might be more gentle on the fabric.
