Intent is now pleased to offer professional tent cleaning services to the stretch tent industry. We are able to accommodate ongoing partnerships for clients who own multiple stretch tents, as well as one-time cleaning services for clients who own a single tent. Our comprehensive cleaning service also includes repair, delivery, and collection, in addition to our existing offerings of equipment sales, tent installation, removal, and storage.

THE MACHINE

Since purchasing our Teeco Signature 875 tent washing machine in February 2024 we have cleaned hundreds of stretch tents. This has given us a great opportunity to test wash cycles, washing powder, mold treatments, drying times and the elements which combine to complete the full tent cleaning service.

Our machine can hold up to 350kg of fabric and can wash multiple tents at the same time. Washing takes between 2- 4 hours per load.

OUR PROCESS

When we receive a tent for cleaning, it will be signed for by our team. The tents will then be weighed, labeled, and stored until the cleaning process begins.

When it is time to clean the tent, our team will take photographs to document its condition.

While we make every effort to document all damage, please be aware that small areas of damage that are not visible when the tent is laid flat may not be included in these photographs and may not be repaired.

After the tent has been removed from the machine, we will hang it to dry and then complete any necessary repairs.

We will repair all damage unless instructed otherwise, and our rates will be provided at the time of quoting. The client will be consulted in the event of any significant damage or unforeseen issues.

Hand washing may be necessary for stained or extremely dirty tents and will incur an additional charge. This will be assessed after the tent has been removed from the machine following the initial wash cycle.

OUR FACILITY 

We are conveniently located in Reigate, Surrey, where we have invested in a 180m2 cleaning area that is climatically controlled for optimal temperature and humidity levels.

Our drying times vary between 36 and 60 hours.

This sealed area features a poured resin white floor, which provides the ideal surface for cleaning, inspecting, drying, and repairing tents.

DELIVERY AND COLLECTION

Our business hours for delivery and collection are 8am – 4pm, Monday to Friday.

We have a forklift and driver available for taking delivery of and loading tents. If tents are delivered without pallets and are not easily accessible, the client should provide crew members to assist with unloading.

We also offer delivery and collection services on request.

CLEANING WALLS AND GUTTERS

Gutters, solid walls, and tent bags are washed in the machine along with the tents. These items are priced separately.

PVC or partial PVC walls are cleaned by hand; these will be assessed and priced before any work is carried out.

REPAIRS

We have the ability to repair damaged stretch tents including patches, small tears and damaged lugs. Images of any damage should be provided at the time of quoting.

THE RESULTS 

Our clients have found the results produced by our cleaning process to be exceptional. The tent fabric is not only deep cleaned, but the lugs and stitching are also far cleaner than with hand washing alone.

Please note that heat pressed logos may detach from the fabric after washing, and some fading can occur on screen printed designs or logos.

We have extensively tested cleaning RHI and Freeform tents and have found no issues with fading or aging after multiple washes.
