You can spray it with mould and mildew remover ,Dettox or astonish are both good .dettox in most supermarkets abiut £3, astonish in poundland . but beware that you dont get any on the actual outer tent.
If you can manage to spread it out in the garden so that the door is on the ground , and cover the flysheet up. spray the mildew remover on , leave a few minutes , then rinse repeatedly with a hosepipe, taking care not to get it on the flysheet .leave to dry . This should remove the black spots, but even if the marks dont come out , it will kill the mould and stop it spreading.
possible causes are damp guylines or damp groundsheet, or even a dirty groundsheet, could have picked up mould spores from the ground.
you really do have to be meticulous that every bit of the tent is totally bone dry to prevent mould .
Even after airing it in the garden the underneath of the sig could have been slightly damp, enough to cause mould.
in future, if its at all possible, after drying it leave it unrolled indoors overnight to be absolutely sure its dry.
I remember my sis saying she had put the tent away dry, but when she opened the bag a couple of days later there was a little pool of water in the bottom.
she could only think that it was warm and sunny when she packed it and that it had "sweated" in the bag as it cooled .
