Mould in roof tent

I've used the roof tent during the winter and had to close it when wet. Now have quite a lot of mould on the inside lower panel. How do I get rid of this? (I have picture, but don't know how to show it)?

There has been quite a bit of discussion on this with various products being recommended.

I had no success with Bongomasters suggested fluid so I will watch this thread with interest! Not much help to you I know.

Ours looked quite spotty over the winter and we sprayed it with "Dettol Mould & Mildew Remover" which at the time didn't seem to make much impression on the marks. However, when we put the roof up at the Bash I noticed the spots are much much paler - don't know whether it was the cleaner that did the trick or whether the hot weather helped. Might give it another spray and see if it eradicates it completely.

I believe that dettol mould cleaner is bleach based, so will make the stains appear paler, would be wary of over doing it though- may weaken the fabric

I used the Dettol stuff, a good scrub and a rince, with marvelous results. Have to wait to see if it alll falls to pieces though.

It Does contain 'Active bleach', "no nead to scrub" - it says!
