To prevent mold or mildew remember to always allow the tent to dry and air out (inside and out) before you store it. Even if there has not been rain there could be humidity and moisture from dew, and or condensation.

If you have to break camp when it’s wet, when you get back set your tent up ASAP and let it dry out.

If leaving a tent setup for extended periods (weeks, months) in a humid area, prone to mildew, doing the following will minimize mold occurrence. 1) Place the tent in an area that will receive daily direct sunlight. 2) Allow the inside of the tent to air out at least daily.
