Tilex works well for me. Be careful as it will bleach some material dyes. Test on a small area first. Ventilation is the key for keeping the mildew down. Anything you can do to assure airflow through the cabin during storage will help.

A stiff scrub brush won't work as it will just chew up the material. I've tried canned carpet cleaners, but they don't make a dent. Help!! Signed, Soggy in Seattle -- -------------------------------------------------------------- * * * * Home Page:http://www.seanet.com/~jasonrnorth Do you think its more likely to be a general dampness condition vs. a leak? I was taking clues from this comment that the mildew was in a corner, typically a point where there is going to be a joint nearby. I suppose that by the same token the air circulation might be worse in the corner than across the broad section of the headliner.... I would agree that ventilation is the main key to general moisture control. |
