Returned from a week in Suffolk. We're always so careful to make sure the tent's dry before we pack away, but we've missed something because it had mildew on when we got it out.
Had some horrendous rain and the waterproofing seems not to be affected, luckily.
Think it originated from condensation between the front door window and curtain as that's where it seems worst. And then mirrored across the ceiling everywhere that touched the door as it was folded.
I've wiped it from the clear window and had a go at cleaning the curtain, seeing as that doesn't have to be waterproof, but nothing shifts it.
As it's on the inside, it's had a good chance to dry while we we're away, do I need to do anything more, or is it just cosmetic?
It's been in the conservatory since we got back, so should be good and dry this time!

10 parts water to 1 part Milton solution and clean with that. It may not get rid of it 100% but it will stop the spores growing. Any areas that do not have to be water proof, like the curtain, try a small spray of mould and mildew cleaner. Make sure to rince it off thoroughly afterwards.
