I've just put my tent up for the first time this, but all the windows are almost white looking, frosty. Does anyone know what this is and how I can maybe clean them please? TIA

I think a couple of hours in the sun and they should clear from what I have read on here before.

This is quite common and I think it is a type of mildew. Quite often when a tent is put away the inside of the windows can be slightly misty with condensation which you may not notice as it is usually behind the curtains.

I clean mine with a mild solution of washing up liquid taking care not to get it onto the tent fabric as apparently this might affect waterproofing.

There was another thread on here recently regarding cleaning tent windows and there were several suggestions on what to use.

I think spray glass cleaner got the thumbs up. It's similar to what gets on the inside of your car windows, just spray onto a cloth and wipe carefully.

Tent + food + glass of cider + friends = perfection

May: Drybrook, FoD

As Nick said it normally goes in a couple of hours in the sun better to try that than put chemicals on it unnecessarily
