How to solve the problem of moldy and discolored tarpaulin during storage

When storing tarpaulins, improper storage methods or other factors often lead to mold or discoloration, which can greatly affect our next use. So, what if the tarpaulin becomes moldy and discolored during storage?

Firstly, when encountering such a situation, we need to first understand the cause of the mold on the tarpaulin, so as to treat the symptoms and root cause. Due to the preference of fungi for moist, dark, and warm environments, they can reproduce a lot in such environments. Fungi will pass through the fabric of the tent, between the fabric and the coating, and then destroy the fabric.

When cleaning mold spots, we can mix a cup of salt, a cup of concentrated lemon juice, and a gallon of hot water together, gradually knead the solution to the visible mold spots, and after drying, we will find that it has a cleaning effect.

To prevent mold growth and allow the tarpaulin to support the tent, warm soapy water and sponge should be used to clean it. Dip the sponge in hot water and a specific solution, scrub the tent and let the solution rest on the fabric, then air dry.

When cleaning light colored tarpaulins, we can cover them with white paper and tear them off after drying to prevent discoloration.
