Any ideas for cleaning mildew of inner tents ?

And has anyone ever put their inner tents in the washer on a gentle setting ?

i washed mine a few weeks ago on a short 40 degree wash - we've put them back up and they're fine.

Thanks everyone ... I will give it a go tomorrow

But I won't be ironing them !

I wash mine each year - thoroughly dry them and put them into vacuum storage bags to over winter.  No problem at all with shrinkage - I hate to admit it because I think it's a definite weakness but one year I ironed them - ( I know I should be ashamed!

Now THAT'S funny

Sorry, I ironed mine too, wished I hadn't really bothered as I couldn't fold them neatly, I won't be ironing them this year that's for sure.

They washed fine on a wool/delicate cycle, for our old Conway Trailer Tent I used a vanish oxy spray although it didn't remove all the mildew it did look and smell better.
