I thought I would pass this tip on, with all the rain we have had we have had some mould on our pop top caravan which stayes up most of the time
and had got rather dirty and had some mould and I saw this on TV it works on most thing even in the shower
mix one quart teaspoon of oil of cloves in one Lt of water in a spray bottle and spay leave on for a few mins and wipe with clean water if stubbon leave on for longer I just leave on in the shower works great

I've used that mixture in Cairns, but it wasn't as effective as vinegar and hot water with a little detergent. There's no specific quantity of vinegar, but stronger lasts longer. This mixture will remove the mould and deter but not prevent future mould. The cloves mixture doesn't deter mould either. Smells great though.

Shannon Lush was on Current Affair last night talking about how bad the mould is in houses because of the damp humid weather weve been having. She said a mixture of Oil of Cloves with white vinegar and I think the 3rd was salt. I know there were 3 ingredients involved. Spray it on the mould, leave for a while, then wipe off. She said a lot use bleach but all that does is disguise the mould and leaves it there, bleaching it white. Her mixture will get rid of it and stop it returning, she said.

That's what Cannylass said too Marj although she didn't mention the salt.

Thanks for that. I've taken note too. Not just for the caravan but here in my spare room/office.
Rising damp is always a problem here under the main house.
I go through packets and packets of Damp Rid.

Salt was only used for getting mould out of clothes, soak overnight then hang on line (no rinsing) your will get crystal's on the clothing and just brush them off and the mould comes away with the brushing.
you only need to ask a wombat

Thats right wombat. I remember that bit. So there wasn't salt in that other mixture?? I thought there was a 3rd ingredient.

And, to make it last longer add Tea Tree Oil. Works a treat with the above mixture.
Struth, almost sounds like a witches brew. Watch out Wombat.

To deal with the musty smell after the mould has been washed down I use those plastic sachet's of fabric softener concentrate. The Cuddly Aroma Therapy Fabric Conditioner comes in a variety of smells. I use the fresh linen packs in my cupboards, and the Jasmine and Bergamot smell in the van. They don't leak or ooze. The odour just permeates through the plastic without being overpowering. You choose.

the bit left off was to absorb the moisture. I made the print bigger so it was easy to read and was to big in size so I then had to make it fit into the 600x600
no 3rd item
