1. The fabric should often be cleaned. Use a soft brush and
   cold water. Begin at the bottom edges and work up.
2. No detergents, soap or cleaning fluids.
3. Buy a cheap tarp as a ground sheet, this keeps bird
   droppings, oil, dirty sand etc off the fabric.
4. Never pack your swag away wet.
5. If you notice mildew, get rid of it before it sets in.
6. Continuous cleaning may necessitate reproofing. Camperland
   has proofing products
7. After proofing, allow the swag to dry before you use it.

Condensation:

1. Your swag could have internal condensation in certain
   conditions. This is due to the canvas not coping with the volume of
   condensation created.
2. Inside the swag, perspiration and breathing in a confined
   area, warm bodies and freezing conditions can all create the problem.
3. High humidity and heat develop internal moisture. The cold
   external conditions will preclude evaporation, and the moisture is
   trapped inside.
4. To remedy this, elevate the head and foot of the
   swag, allowing improved circulation. Try to sleep under a shelter, or head
   the swag into a breeze, or air the swag every day as bedding tends to
   absorb moisture from the air or your body
