When we store tarpaulins, due to incorrect storage methods or other factors, tarpaulins often become moldy or discolored, which will affect our next use. So, what should we do if the tarpaulins become moldy and discolored during storage?


First of all, when we encounter this situation, we need to understand the cause of the mold of the tarpaulin so that we can treat the symptoms and the root cause. Since mold likes a moist, dim and warm environment, it can reproduce a lot in this environment. The fungus will pass through the tent fabric, between the fabric and the coating, and then destroy the fabric.
