    Question New Chinook...how to clean off bird dung?

    Last night was my first time sleeping under my new Chinook and I LOVED it! So after getting up today and making some coffee, I was looking at my tarp and saw a "spot" of bird dung on my NEW tarp! Is there "do's and don'ts" to clean this thing? Or is this a sign of good hanging fortune? Like rain on a wedding day type thang

    Simple green to clean? Dish soap -water? Badge of honor?

    Yep, just wash it off with water.
    Since your fabric is waterproof, the poo wont soak in. It should come clean with a blast from the hose.
