Tent Cleaning

Woollyzone said:

I used the Argos Pro-Action tent the other week, not bad although got a
small leak in a thunderstorm. However, the inner is now covered in slug
trails, and I'm wondering if it's a no-no to put it through the washing
machine (presumably on a low temp and on gentle action?)

Slug slime isn't easy to wash off. I usually use washing-up liquid on my
hands and that'd be far less diluted than laundry liquid.

It's not rocket science, you know.

Just try a damp cloth a few times rather than risking the machine

Slug trails aren't corrosive are they? Why the need to get rid of
them?

Probably not, no, but they look a bit [censored], and they are absolutely all over
the inner tent, mesh part included. I'll probably just pitch the tent up in
the back garden and let the thunderstorms jet blast it clean.

They'll probably just brush off when dry
