Do you mean that it's still wet or that you've got mouldy patches? I doubt you'd get mould inside a week so is it older mould?

The usual suggestion for inners is Miltons (or similar) fluid which should kill the mould. It won't necessarily get rid of the manky patches but it should stop the growth.

I tried drying mine off in the dining room, it was nearly dry when the sun came out yesterday - so I pitched it in the garden - by lunchtime it was dry, but I realised I needed to put some seam sealer on and I was going out for the afternoon so I left it, while we were out the heavens opened and tent soaked.

Tried again today - dry day, tent dry by 4pm - decided to do the seam sealer at tea-time so hubby could supervise. Heavens opened, tent soaked again :-(

Still I guess its better getting wet in the garden than being damp in a bag?   Problem is that I need 12-24 hours of dry weather or the sealant to set before I pack it away.
