Hang it over the stairwell, over furniture in a spare room or somewhere like that.
Ours goes over an exercise bike and rocking chair lol
Open a window if you can to let fresh air in and it should be dry pretty fast.
I read on here somewhere that you can wash the inner using mild soapy water then rinse several times which should get rid of nasty smells but please check on previous posts before you try it in case I am wrong.
Check posts from Valk scot, she knows all there is to know about these things :)

Ohh I wish....!
For inner tents only: Spread it out, treat the mouldly spots with Milton, diluted as per the bottle instructions, rinse well. ( Well= 5 or 6 times. ) Sponge with soapy water (SOAP, not detergent!!!) then rinse WELL again. You can do this in a paddling pool if the inner is huge. If it's small enough to fit in a washing machine then treat as above with Milton then wash at 30'C with non-bio detergent then run through a second rinse cycle.
Do not do the above to flysheets. For mouldy flysheets you need a proper tent cleaning product like Grangers, then you'll have to reproof the area with Fabsil or Thompsons Water Seal. There's a high chance though that the combination of mould plus treatment will damage the flysheet fabric to a greater or lesser extent (depends on age, quality and severity of mould/treatment) so really, it's best not to let tents get mouldy.
