When I was younger (16-17) I worked as a Stevador for Alberta Forestry-pack up new fire kits, clean used walltents, etc....then deliver out into the field..sometimes by helicopter (fun for a 16-17 year old for sure-even get some training on fighting the fires).

We would hang the field-used walltents on big racks then spray with a solution that would foam up, let penetrate for couple hours then rinse off and hang dry. I cant remeber what the solution was-but it destroyed the mild dew and any type of mould.

As mentioned, get that tent hanging or spread out in the yard to air dry ASAP. Maybe a mild bleach solution to wash the tent down in.
