We recommend that new Darche swags are thoroughly wet down before first use.  This will ensure that your swag performs well in wet weather by allowing the poly/cotton corespun thread and canvas to swell ensuring the take up of any potential leaks in the stitching.

• Do not use soap or detergents on the canvas
• Do not store the product if wet, allow to dry first
• To clean use a soft brush and cold water
• Do not expose to petrol, oils or harsh chemicals

Condensation is a natural occurrence in confined areas like swags due to the body releasing more moisture than the canvas can dispose in cold weather. To minimise the chance of condensation, we recommend slightly opening the window of the swag to enable airflow on cold nights.
