I hang my tents behind doors to keep air flowing through them. Two of my tents, my Moss Outland and Eureka Alpine Meadows waterproof coating off gassed and became tacky, but eventually went away. I re-waterproofed with Grangers’ and Nik Wax.
Out of the sun or out to the sun?

Mold is nothing to take lightly. Some mold spores are highly toxic. My tent reeked of mold with visible patches and so it was all or nothing. Soaked it in weak bleach solution for 30 minutes in bathtub, rinsed, and dried in the sun. It completely got rid of mold, but I need to reseal it now. Everyone says bleach will destroy a tent. It might, but I’d rather take that risk than breathing in dangerous mold spores all night. Buying a new tent is far cheaper than damaging my health.
