What should I do if my tarp smells musty?

1. Be sure to know the reasons why the tarpaulin becomes moldy, so that you can treat the symptoms and the root cause. Because mold likes moist, dark, and warm environments, it can reproduce in large quantities in this environment. Fungus can penetrate the tent fabric, between the fabric and the coating, destroying the fabric. To effectively prevent mold growth, you can set up your tent and wipe it clean with warm soapy water and a sponge.

2. Dry it with a clean sponge. The next step is to soak the sponge with hot water and a specific solution, wipe the tent and let the solution stay on the fabric, and let it air dry.

3. Mix a cup of salt, a cup of strong lemon juice and a gallon of hot water together, and slowly rub the solution into the visible mold spots. After drying, you will find a certain effect.
