| Solution Details |
When I got my Bongo it already had a few spots of mold on the tent. After speaking to two camping shops they both suggested using a VERY weak water bleach mix. I personally used 2 table spoons of bleach to 4 litres of water. The idea I believe is to kill the mold. With this in mind I washed all of the tent incase any mold was in it`s infancy. Rinse with a solution of 1 cup of lemon juice and 1 cup of salt to a gallon of hot water. Two years on and I have had no more mold in the tent. Another method is to use `Dettol Mould & Mildew Remover`. This is a for purpose product and I`d recommend this over using bleach, as if you get the bleach mix wrong you may need a new tent. Also, as with a tent, your AFT tent should be aired after every use. If used in wet weather, air as soon as possible once the skys clear. |
