Tent smells of mould - what do we do?

[Anonymustnot]

Pitched tonight and tent smells of mould. Should we treat it with something while it is up? Tempted to try some sort of mildew remover but suspect that would destroy tent.

Will just drying it well do? (thought we may have to bin it after last trip and pole probs so may not have dried as well as usual).

Whatever you do, do not clean it with baby wipes. we did and it took all the scotch guard protection off the tent and it leaked each time after that even though we re-waterproofed it. Threw it away in the end :-(
