We've just been away in our ontrio 8 tent for the weekend when we got it up we found it a spots of mould in diffrent parts of the the tent, both the outer tent and the bedrooms. it must have still been wet when we put it away last time. thought we had dried it out, but we don't have a big enouth space to spread it out. How do we clean/treat it. will it need reprofing? can anyone help?

Hi Kaite

1 part Milton to 9 parts water will kill the mould and stop it from spreading - but it won't however remover the stain

agree with the above, but we did it ten parts milton. not sure if you can use this on the outside of the tent as it may affect the waterproofing, but it did work on the inner and removed all the black spots. make sure you rinse it off and dry before putting away, or the mould may come back.
