Mouldy Tent

[sinned666]

We got our tent out this weekend, to check it was ok and try and remember how to put it up.

For some reason Mould has appeared on the outside of the tent and a bit on the inside were the door is.

It was dry when we put it away last year for sure, so i don't know why it has mould on it.

Does anyone have any tips about how to remove mould. Me and the missus love the tent and would prefer to keep it rather than getting rid of it and the £80 for a new one would be better spent on Cider.

try cleaning it with milton steriliser stuff?

Fbreeze for the smell?

I hear vinigar/lemon works on the stains.

Remember to re-proof afterwards.

+1 for Milton. Also, Lakeland / Betterware / Robert Dyas type places sell a mould spray which is meant for showers and stuff, but might work on a tent - test on a small area first though, just in case!

Ours only had a bit of mould but very hot soapy water did the trick.
