Got it out today to check it out and make sure it's ready for the summer. It's mouldy all around the door and every where that was rolled up in the middle😭😭😭 it obviously wasn't 100% when packed away.

I've white vinegar'd it to kill the mould and I'm going to attempt to wash it and reproof it but I think it's done for.

Tell me it's done for and the only possible solution is to buy myself a nice clean new one.

I have used this successfully before without having to reproof.

IOSSO and sunshine are your best options imo. I wouldn't put anything not made for the job on it right now, last resort perhaps but try the stuff made for the job first.

This is my biggest fear, I am avoiding getting ours out to check! Although we did leave it spread out in a room with the dehumidifier on for a WEEK before packing it away, so I will be pretty peeved if it's mouldy.

Dettol mould & mildew remover , hose down, dry, and then re- proof. Worth a try...!
