Washing Dirty Bell Tents
At Spin Doctors we combine the latest industrial washing machines with leading laundry expertise to bring you the cutting edge in canvas bell tent cleaning. Our washing process uses carefully formulated products and bespoke programmes to tackle various degrees of soiling.
This enables us to wash most types and sizes of canvas bell tents, from smaller 3 metre bell tents all the way up to family-sized 6 metre bell tents.


Re-Waterproofing Bell Tents
As well as tackling stains, mould and ingrained dirt, we also re-proof your tent with a waterproof/UV agent as part of the service.
Customers often send us bell tents that have been put away whilst still damp, leading to mould and mildew build-up. This degrades the fabric, affects the waterproofing and reduces the lifespan of the tent. Our supersized machines and processes not only clean the fabric but also restore breathability and waterproofing for future use.
Bell Tent Washing Procedure
Our washing procedure is very gentle, with bespoke programmes for each specialist item, taking into account degrees of soiling, the canvas quality and weight of canvas (GSM). We typically wash on very low temperatures to avoid shrinkage.
The entire cleaning process is completed by our specialist machines but they are always accompanied and supervised by us. Before the actual washing process, we will spot treat any areas for mould spores, mildew, grease or bird poo and fully check the item over for any potential issues.
