Moss and mould generally showing itself around window seals front grills etc. Unfortuently I cannot get the van out of the weather at this time of year. Can anyone advise anything that has a mild bleach like you use for the bathroom, that is safe to use around the paint and trim of my van. I guess if its really bad then changing the strips around the front windows and other areas is best- but if anyone has used anything to keep it at bay for a bit, it would be useful to know.
(also, I cannot see where to put up a 'signature' probably me just being a knob, but any help appreciated !)
thanks
Neil

garden centre type places that do stuff to get rid of moss may work well

jeyes fluid is one of the best, but before putting it on any paintwork your best testing it on a small area or something else thats painted to make sure it dosent discolour.

As mentioned Jeyes fluid and Armillatox will kill moss- i use Algon at work for moss on flags/tarmac/paths etc, but it can also be used on plastics [chairs, outdoor furniture], wood [decking], greenhouses and caravans.

Yes he's right, that is basically what Algon[acetic acid] is- but i wouldn't put it on your chips

Thanks very much for the replies. I'll try them all in various locations to see which is the best method.
