How to clean your marquee
The obvious answer is whenever it needs it so maybe a better question would be how often should you expect to clean a marquee.
A marquee is far more likely to get dirty when being erected/dismantled rather than when it is actually up. If you’re careful when erecting and especially when dismantling the marquee then you can usually get away with a thorough clean only once or twice a season.
There are however a few exceptions:
The dirtiest marquee I have ever had was one that was erected under some trees. When it rained all of the dust and grime was washed off the leaves down on to our lovely marquee. If you’ve got to put a marquee up under trees expect to clean it immediately afterwards.
Rain-skirts by their very nature will always get muddy in the rain, these should be given a wipe over on pretty much every job.
Traffic-film – eventually PVC can have a grey layer build up which is especially difficult to remove. It takes a long time for this to happen (a year or two normally) but at this stage it needs a thorough clean using a chemical. The material also needs irritating (gone over with a brush or similar) to get this off. Once thoroughly cleaned the PVC should be as good as new.
Tree sap is a nightmare to remove.
There are also some things that will never come out:
Petrol/Diesel can stain PVC. This will never come out so avoid them at all costs.
Ingrained mould – this affects many marquees especially those that are stored when still wet. PVC is made of many layers, if a marquee is put away wet or if cheap PVC is used then water can get inside the layers and create mould which will never come out. Incidentally this is one of the reasons we use better quality 500gsm PVC than available elsewhere, it takes far longer for the layers to break down in better quality PVC.
Some garden chemicals can stain – I was shown a marquee recently that had green stains around the rain skirt which seemed to have come from a chemical added to the lawn.
Better quality PVC always helps, we use a lacquer coated PVC as it is easier to clean and lasts longer than the cheap alternatives.

DIY Marquees have a fantastic blog whereby they share ideas and marquee planning advice.
I found this informative article on Marquee Heating, these are all things to think about and DIY Marquee will make sure they are covered.
During Spring and summer months heating is generally only required to take the chill off later in the evening. During autumn and especially winter you should heat the marquee for a reasonable time before guests arrive to ensure a successful event.
Do:
Use a heater with a powerful fan
Test the heating several days before the event (at the same time of day) to make sure it works and is sufficient for the space
In the winter have the heating on for at least an hour before people arrive. On arrival guests should walk in to a wall of warmth, if they walk in to a cold marquee they will not warm up for the whole function
If possible use several smaller heaters rather than one large one to create a consistent temperature in your marquee
Aim one heater towards the entrance, think of a high street shop - they have a heater above the door to ensure the temperature inside stays at a constant level
Don't:
Use a halogen heater, cabinet heater or any other kind of infra-red heater without a fan. They are not powerful enough for larger marquees
Have anything close to or touching a heater (sounds obvious but still worth mentioning)
DIY Marquees not only sell marquees they also provide lighting, heating and flooring options.
