Monty 6 - slightly damp tent when packing it away last time - I thought it would be okay as we were using it 5 days later - oh no, mildew on the inner bedrooms.  Any help or advice on its removal!!!

Inner bedroom pods can be washed in the washing machine at a low temp setting, with non-bio powder. Or in the bath. Rinse well.

If you have black spore stains, remove them with a waek solution of Milton before you wash the inner. Dilution for fabrics is on the bottle.

Even for only five days, it`s worth taking the tent out the bag and letting it lie in a loose heap to let the air circulate. Mould takes hold when a tent is both wet and airflow is restricted. I wouldn`t like to leave a damp tent in a bag for longer than three days max.

Thanks Valk Scot - this is the first time we have had a problem like this will try the milton after our next camping trip.
