Mould on headlining

[boatmike]

OK chaps I know this has been covered before, but I am lazy and can't recall what was said..... I am seeing a couple of areas of black mould spots, mainly on PVC sidelining areas that are not so well ventilated and want to remove them without bleaching out the colour of the material. Of course bleach might work if used carefully but who has had success doing this before and what did you use please?

I was surprised to find I could brush it off with a wet nailbrush dipped in warm water and some washing up liquid. I recently tried kitchen cleaner stuff - kills the spores as well. Wash it off quickly.
My headlining (well ceilings actually) are Vymura, so a bit less solid than PVC.

There are lots of mould and mildew removers some of which are bleach free like this and Astonish and Dettol both do them. A scrub with a small brush should do it. A wipe over with white vinegar now and again will help to stop it.

Well thanks for that but your link takes you to an Inland Revenue site! Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think mould is tax deductable!

Just done mine with 3 in one mould treatment from B&Q, as this product often cited on here. Not expensive & seems to work fairly well, but not miraculous. Agree with previous posters that with indented surfaces, more elbow grease with a brush seems to be required.

Thanks. Will try and get some

Now got home & looked @ the bottle- purchased from B& Q but make is actually Polycell:
