Mildew on Vinyl Interior

[MotherNature]

Hi all,

I searched for posts on how to get rid of mildew; at a quick glance, they seemed to deal with using various treatments for mildew on canvas.

My mildew isn't on the canvas; it's on the interior of the vinyl that makes up the slide-out bunk roofs.  This interior (that has the mildew(mold?) in the form of black spots) seems to be a polyester-kint-type backing (to the exterior vinyl).  

I don't have a problem on the exterior; the little black mildew/mold spots are on the inside on the canvas, on the ceilings in the slide-out beds (pretty unsightly when you're waking up - a good motivation not to laze in bed in the morning )

Sorry if this post seems to ask advice about a previously-discussed problem; I just wasn't able to decide if the previous posts' mold/mildew solutions could be used on both outer canvas and/or interior, vinyl backing material that appears to be polyester.

Thanks!

We had the same problem in our pup. Camping World sells some good mildew remover in a spray bottle that worked well for us. You can follow up with a damp rag wipe with 10% bleach water, then a clear water wipe to really clean things up well. Our walls are dark blue with white ceilings, made of what seems like a thin canvas covered with plastic. The bleach wipe did not affect the color of the walls, but you might want to use a color safe bleach just in case.
I found that to avoid mold and mildew in the future, make sure the pup is dry on the interior before storing. I like to open the windows for a couple of hours, or run the AC, before breaking down to reduce the moisture that builds up during the night when sleeping. At the least, it's a good reason to use to stay in camp until noon or so before breaking down!:)

I believe this was discussed looooong time ago, and someone recommended using woolite and a soft brush.  This worked for me.
