Just need a little heads up on attacking the mould spots ...
The spectre 800 we bought last week has some mould spots in roof area ..

I've bought some Milton solution , some lemon juice , salt ... Also some Losso mould /mildew stain remover to use after to try rid the spots as I know from previous exp it don't like to come out even though you've killed it ...

So .... Shall I mix a little Milton , salt and lemon in warm water , then lightly rub into the areas with a sponge ???? Or would it need more of a brush , as could use a nail brush along seem Areas ?????
I also intend to fabsil in a garden sprayer all over exterior once cleaned and dried ....

That should be fine but I'd suggest going easy with a nail brush, perhaps an old toothbrush (or someone's you don't really like!) For seams. Just don't be tempted to be too forceful.

And bear in mind proofer needs a good 6-8 hrs to dry so keep an eye on the weather forecast. And good luck!

Cheers. Yes   Will probably use a sponge first and try cover the Area so it's damp then light rubbing ...
As said , not. Seen tent up yet , where we could see it was the White roof area ...touch wood , that's the only place ...was thinking turning tent inside first and then doing it laid flat and then pitching it ...weather looks ok today ...

As for re proofing , thanks for the advice ...I will of course make sure it's dry before taking down
