Before using your Regentex Cover for the first time, the Regentex will need to be preconditioned or 'weathered' for the material to develop its own natural water repellency by allowing the fibers to swell and relax back and thus tighten the weave. This wetting/drying process will not only allow the Regentex to condition and gain its full water-resistant properties but will also help close up any stitching holes.
As your coverages, it will become more water-resistant. Adding a lining underneath the canvas will also help keep the water out.
We would normally expect Regentex Fabrics to remain waterproof for at least 2 winters. Regentex can be reproofed using a solution supplied by Gregory Equine before the third winter and every winter after that.
To clean Regentex allow the Cover and dirt to dry and then brush with a soft brush. Regentex can be rinsed down using water from a bucket or hose. NEVER use any solvents or soap product and do NOT use pressure washers as either of these may wash the proofing product out of the Regentex.
Unfortunately, we don't but we do sell the recommended waterproofing so you can do it yourself.
We have a knowledgeable team that can repair most covers - Canvas and Synthetic.
