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

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.

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.

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

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.

Onya Grizz. It's not a mixture or brew. The pouches of fabric softener just lie in the cupboard and smell pretty, not like a wombat's bum.
