want to purchase small piece of tyvek to put just outside my tent door for a matt... can you wash this stuff, or will that break it down ?

Can run thru the gentle wash cycle to "soften" up, take some of the "crinkle" out. DO NOT place in dryer... air dry!

Some folks say washing it too often removes some of its waterproofing. But if you're leaving it outside your tent it will get muddy and need to be washed or scrubbed.

USPS priority mail envelope. It's tyvek. Cut it open for your matt. I reuse my envelopes like this. I use mine as a sit pad primarily, but with my single wall tent I also put it in my tent for my shoes to sit on when it's raining.
