Removing mould / grass stains from nylon tent

[Tsippy]

Hi all!

We put up our tent today in preparation for the camping season and have found an abundance of mouldy stains around the seams and green smudges on the plastic windows.

We've tried cleaning it with a mix of milton and warm water however it does not seem to be doing the job So I was hoping that you lot would have some top tips for getting the bugger clean!!!

And before anyone mentions it, we did try to make sure it was dry before packing it away but there must have been some moisture trapped somewhere, probably in the seams by the looks of it as that is where it has spread behind the plastic making it impossible to access!

Thanks for any help, would really like to save the tent as it's a cool one :P (Suncamp Evolution 600)

Cheers, unfortunately it has not worked but we've stripped the old sealant tape and will give it another go with some other cleaning solution next weekend before resealing the seams

White vinegar solution will do wonders on the mould.

Don't forget to retreat afterwards to give the fabric some water repellancy.
