If it's mildew, I don't think you can get rid of the spots.  Sorry, think you may have to treat it to stop it spreading and re-proof but someone else will come along and tell you properly.

Hi Davtat67,

Can't say I've had any expeience of tent mildew - but if you go into the search section at the top of the page and search for "Mildew" in the "under canvas section" then you will get a page of previous Q & A posts. I hope the this helps

PS Just a friendly request - please stop shouting (ie turn off yor caps lock button) Thanks.
