Hi guys , any idea how to clean the tent section of mold n mildew ???

Was going to try the Dettoll mould and mildew cleaner but am sure their is bleach in it and may destroy the material.

Any advice would be great , Calum

Hi - There's several other posts on this, recommending various products. A search (see top right of screen) on "mould removal" or "dettol" will bring up loads of hits.

A few drops of Oil of Cloves from your local chemist in a bowl of water. Question like these come up loads of times. Just check the Archives using the seach facility as mentioned in the previous post.

I must say that questions like these come up time and time again as new members of the forum appear to be shy about using the seach facility. I guess that I was when I first joined. :oops: :oops: :oops:

Aye, Oil of Cloves is the thing you need.

This is taken from another thread " Half a tea spoon in 1 litre of water, spray on and leave 20 mins, wipe clean then respray"

The Dettol might stink a bit.

Add half a teaspoon of oil of cloves to 1 litre of water - no more than that.


Put it into a spray bottle, spray the surface and leave for 20 minutes.
Wipe the surface clean, then re-spray and leave it.
It will take between 24 to 48 hours for the mould spores to die and drop off.

Cheers..
