B. Proper Storage:

Put away the play tent in a cold dry place where there is no moisture as it should be completely dry before storing so that there is no build up of molds or fungus on it while using the storage bag provided by the manufacturer to ensure that dust does not settle on top of it thus causing damage.

C. Avoid Harsh Conditions:

Do not let your children play with their kids’ tents during harsh weather conditions; otherwise exposure to such extreme sunlight makes colors fade off and damp conditions promote mold and mildew growth on them.
