A friend of mine a couple of years ago suggested buying a mini handheld vacuum cleaner for cleaning out the family tent whilst we were camping and for when we was ready to pack away. It sounded like a good idea and we give it a go.
Since buying a mini vacuum cleaner and using it to keep the tent clean and tidy I have found it much easier that using the dustpan we used to use..Its so convenient and never feels like a chore.
We have a very good Eureka family tent and like to take proper care of it, which means taking good care of the floor. because the kids are in and out of the tent they bring all sorts of grit and dirt inside that needs to be cleaned up to protect the tent flooring as well as keeping it clean.
Before we take down the tent to head back home we clean out the inside which has been a bit of a pain before because of all the bits that get caught in the corners and seams, which our handheld vacuum cleaner does nicely.
Advice if your considering to buy a vacuum:
I would advise you if your thinking about trying a mini vacuum out for cleaning camping tents to be careful which one you buy because many have such a small battery charge you could be disappointed.
My vacuum cleaner is made by hoover, it cost about $25 and has a rechargeable battery that lasts about 10 minutes which is plenty enough for cleaning a tent out. It helps to buy the best vacuum cleaner that has a long battery life.
I use mine at home to clean around the PC and the seats of my car when out camping so I get many uses out of it. Using a mini handheld vacuum cleaner for cleaning our tent out has been one of the best camping tips we have picked up over the years.
Happy camping
Josh
