6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and performance of your B-Air Grizzly Tarp, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: The tarp is washable. Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before folding and storing.
