I got the tent out today and have some mold on the inner sleeping section fabric. Any ideas how best to clean it away?

Many thanks

If it's the inner bedroom just soak the affected are with a solution of Miltons to kill the mildew spores then you can wash the fabric in the bath and dry it outdoors to blow some fresh air through it

Hiya, I have had a similar problem although it was with my car because it had been lying since before xmas as I have had a broken foot.  Anyhow to get to the point anyone I spoke to recommended vinegar for getting rid of mildew.

Both milton and vinegar work fine but you do need to dilute the vinegar maybe start with a 40% vinegar to 60% water

Also, tip from those cleaning queens 'Kim & Aggie' ('How clean is your house' fame)- WHITE VINEGAR - rather than the stuff you splash on your chips!! (the caramel colouring could discolour your fabric), & white vinegar is, according to them, cheaper - never noticed myself, despite the amount I buy for cleaning, especially the windows & mirrors at home!!
