maggyd Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Bicarb; Soda mixed to a paste and applied with an old toothbrush leave on for a while then wipe off. To prevent mould you should use the damp crystals in a damp trap a couple of them stood on plates or something similar I use large plant pot trays works for me we dont have any trouble with mould we do this every winter used be amazed at the moister they trap.

BGD Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Emigrate to a warmer country? Sorry - flippant. There are some domestic cleaning sprays that say specifically that they are mould-killing - maybe have a look in Tesco's etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Collings Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Most materials are now synthetic and make a poor home for moulds etc. This is probably a result of a drinks spillage that has acted as a fertiliser. Clean with a mild detergent and rise off well if the bi carb does not do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kirby Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 If you do use Milton: a) use only at the dilution recommended by Milton for general sterilising and, b) experiment on an inconspicuous area of the fabric. Milton contains a form of chlorine, which is a bleach. You don't want white spots instead of black! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightrider Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Mould is caused by lack of air circulation, if your van is going to be parked up on your drive for any lenght of time best bet is to crack open a roof vent, just enough to keep rain out and allow airflow. PS leave your cupboard doors open as well or you will get damp stagnant air in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leake Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 We run an air conditioner for four hours a day on a timer in ours to keep humidity down and avoid mould problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Dave Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 To remove mould we use a product called wizz mould and mildew remover from 'home bargains'. It is a form of bleach but apply it wipe off and then rinse and dry the area works great and is about £1 a bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John.N Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Althouugh the offending mould may be the same in both cases will not the affected articles, hard surface or fabric, require diferent treatment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
