Can anyone tell me the best thing to use to cleans the inside of my California pop top as it has got mould on and I want to remove it but not the furry lining .

diluted miltons steralising fluid... theres a topic elswhere on here somewhere which is where we got the tip from - worked a treat for us

Thanks for that ,you don't happen to know what ratio I need to dilute it at..

10 water to 1 miltons i think it was

here you go, see here:

Thanks again purple crocs Just one last post for you did you just spray it on or did you have to scrub the canvas aswell also did the bleaching effect cause you any problems e.g discolouring the canvas .once again thank you for your help .

worked it in with a soft brush i think, then after sponged off with clean water. We didnt put it on the canvas - going to replace that. Just covered the bed etc with a couple of blankets to protect from splashes

We've just cleaned ours the diluted Milton Fluid didn't remove it all but Dettol Mould and Mildew cleaner did.

How ever even before we'd started the furry/fluffy lining was floating (as dust) off every time we touched it, so be careful.

It is now a mix of areas with fluff and no fluff (although doesn't look too bad in broad daylight!!!) and we are considering what to do about it because we are concerned about beathing it in, can't be healthy. Definately don't want to have to clean it every year.

Great stuff that, but don't get it on the canvas.

You say don't get it on the canvas but what about the Milton stuff is that ok on the canvas ?

Never tried Milton, my main concern was getting bleach on the canvas. A high concentration of bleach wil eat through the material but even something as diluted as Dettol Mould & Mildew won't be good for its water resistance. I might be worrying about nothing but I didn't want to risk it after I'd accidently got some on my canvas. I immediately rinsed the area thoroughly with water but you can still see the marks. I still use Dettol as it works really well but am now just more careful where it goes.
