Cleaning and storing your camping table is easy if you know how! Let us guide you through this simple process.
Camping tables such as our "TALU Portable Camping Table" are an essential item for any camper, hiker, trekker, or backpacker. They help keep the food and drinks off the ground, they provide a surface to prepare meals on and even serve as extra seating. But this convenience comes with some challenges. Camping tables can get dirty fast from food spills and dirt tracked in on people's shoes. And because these tables come with so many pieces- often including legs- they can be hard to pack away neatly after use.

How to clean a camping table?
One common problem that arises while camping includes getting a disease or parasite from eating food off dirty surfaces or utensils. If not properly cleaned, bacteria will start to accumulate which could lead to illness. Therefore, you should know how to clean a camping table so that it stays sanitized and germ-free. This can be done by using a few simple household items.

Start by making sure that all of the debris has been removed from under or around the table, including dirt, sand, twigs, etc. This may require using a broom or dustpan. Then wipe down any excess food with a paper towel or cloth napkin before washing. Make sure to wet the surface of the table with some soapy water and let it soak for 10 minutes. Next, use water and dish soap with a sponge or rag. Be careful not to scrub too hard as you don't want to damage your surface. If they are still dirty after being wiped down with water and soap, use vinegar to help cut through the grease and grime stuck onto your plates.

Another way is using hand sanitizer such as Purell, which will kill any germs on the surface of the table and keep it safe for eating off of again later in the day. But if you wish to clean more thoroughly, we suggest taking apart each piece of the table and washing them separately. After they have been washed, put them back together and then store them in their carrying bag or box and away from any dirt or dust particles. This method takes longer but ensures that every piece is thoroughly cleaned before being stored away again.
To finish up, dry the surface with a paper towel or dishcloth until all moisture has evaporated. With this simple routine in place, you'll be able to enjoy fresh meals without worrying about germs!
Extra Tip: You can make cleaning a lot easier by using a large sturdy plastic tarp or sheet to cover over your table-top area while camping outdoors. This will protect the surface from spills and other accidents while also keeping it dry from any moisture in the air. You can also use aluminum foil instead as it also works just as well (and looks pretty cute too).

How to store a camping table?
How do you store a camping table? What is the best way to store a camping table so it doesn't get ruined or damaged when not being used? These are questions that have been asked by many people. Here, we will answer these questions and give tips on how to store a camping table.
Camping tables can be stored in a number of different ways. The first option is to use an oversized storage bin with wheels, such as those from Rubbermaid or Sterilite. You can also use large cardboard boxes if you want something more temporary for storing your camping table until your next trip outdoors. The other option for storing your camping table is just folding it into its original storage bag or pouch and putting it away.
However, the most popular way is by folding it up so that the legs lay flat on top while the tabletop lays on its side with all four corners touching each other. If you have more than one table, they can be stacked together so that they share only two opposite corners while laying one atop another horizontally. This can save space if you don't have enough room for both to stand upright at the same time.
Remember to place the camping table in an area where it is easily accessible and does not get crowded by other items. Make sure all of the bolts are tight because loose screws will loosen over time which can cause issues when transporting or storing the camping table. Not only will this ensure that the table stays safe and sound during its time off, but it can also help prolong its lifespan.
Whether you're looking for a small camping table that's easy to carry around or need something more heavy-duty that will hold up through tough weather conditions, our Small TALU Camping Table is exactly what you need!
