How to solve the problem of mold and discoloration of tarpaulins during storage?

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.

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

In order to prevent mold growth and allow the tarpaulin to prop up the tent, warm soapy water and sponge should be used to scrub it clean. Let the sponge soak in hot water and a specific solution, scrub the tent and let the solution stay on the fabric, and then air dry.

When cleaning light-colored tarpaulins, we can cover the tarpaulins with white paper and tear it off after drying, which can also prevent discoloration.
