HI

Came back from France with wet Monty. Only two days in the bag due to travel arrangements and when we pitched to dry it out it out in the garden it has black spots on the fly sheet which look like mould/mild dew.  Inner is fine. 

Not sure what to do.  Tent is now dry.

1 Should we treat it with something incase the mould spreads when packed away.  I have search other threads but views seem to be not to put anything on the fly sheet.

2 Will the mould spread as it has not been killed or will it die off as the tent is now dry.

Thanks

Hi again pomo.
I have found a better site for information.
Google Outdoor magic
If you have trouble navigating the site do it this way.
Google Tent Cleaning, fourth entry down ((Tent Care Cleaning + Maintenance)) will put you on the right page.
Good luck
Rex.

Have just been looking at this info. Am I correct in thinking that if I treat the mould on my flysheet, clean and reproof it, that as the original waterproofing has been affected that I may be prone to leaks?

Are there any alternatives to treating the mould that will not affect the waterproofing?
