Hi all

I'm open to any advice and helpful hints on how to clean sugar off the inner tent.  I have a 2 bedroomed tunnel tent and as said one of the bedrooms got covered in sugar (please dont ask how as it's a long story and I was nearly in tears with it).

So far every day since Sunday I've swept it, wiped all the sideds and doors, I've even put buckets of warm soapy water inside and used the sweeping brush for the floor, but the blinking thing is still sticky.  I have thought of putting it in the washing machine but far too big that I dont want to risk it. I dont really want to use a laundrette as I know that we wont get the money back from childs parent that done it, but I think is that my only option???

All replies greatly appreciated.

This is so odd, I had to deal with a sugar stain on my carpet only yesterday, a friend who works in the trade, by that I mean cleaning, sent me this info on how to get rid of it.  It worked for me!

 "Dishwasher detergent is formulated for removing sugar and grease, it makes is a good cleaning agent for carpet stains. A solution of five to ten percent detergent is usually adequate."

Hope it helps you, try a test area first though, but as I said it got rid of it from my carpet!

Best wishes,

Hi all

Cor so many ideas, I dont know which one to try first.....but am tempted to get the little b*****rs to do it, but then again dont think so.

Thanks again you are all such a clever lot I'm glad that I asked you all.
