mildew on tent

[daveLok]

forgot to dry the damn tent after using it last time. Have got mildew spots all over it now. Did some search on the web and saw suggestions to use lysol...so will probably give that a try. Any one else have any other advice getting rid of it?

The Lysol deal works. Here's the method:

 

Mildew Treatment Formula

 

This is a three step process.

 

Step 1 - Mix 1/2 cup of Lysol in 1 gallon of hot water (not so hot you can't put your hand in it). Wash the fabric with a sponge and dry completely, without rinsing.

 

Step 2 - Mix 1 cup of salt and 1 cup of lemon juice in 1 gallon of hot water (same "warning" as in step 1). Wash the fabric with this solution and allow to dry, without rinsing.

 

Step 3 - After the item is dry, rinse it with fresh water and allow to dry thoroughly before storing.
