Argh... help! Mice have peed all over my tent!

Luckily no teeth damage...

It's just the inner bedroom bit of a Kahyam ridgidome, but it stinks. If I throw it through the washing machine on a cold wash, will it survive?

If not does anyone know how to clean the inner bedroom bit of a mice-stinky tent?

im pretty sure i have herd of people who have machine washed (on the most delicate cycle) their tent insides and they have survied!

You are so lucky there was no nibbling.

You could do what they recomend for mould, hang it over washing line on a sunny day and just keep washing it through with weak detergent, then keep rinsing.

I guess the danger with putting it in the machine is a) that it will shrink. b) that it will put alot of undue stress on the seams, but as as it doesn't need to be waterproof I'm not sure how important the later is.

I'd use the bath to wash it.

Mice have eaten the children's sleeping bags (thank god the new tent wasn;t there too) now off to hunt for new sleeping bags - any recomendations?

For mouse (or rather anti-mouse) experts: if you find yourself having to sleep by stinky mouse residue (just don't ask!), in UK, are you likely to make yourself ill? Either mouse-borne disease, or irritant?

Washed it in the bath in the end. Was horrible but smells a lot better now. I think mice wee carries diseases so I wouldn't want to sleep directly in it!
