Subject:Mold stains inside poptop
From:Nicholas Wilson

Anybody know an effective way to remove heavy mold stains on the flocked
interior side of the Westy poptop? The mold grew undisturbed for several
months after the Westy was used for a guest room for a week in December and
not properly ventilated. The condensed moisture led to rampant mold
colonies. There are black, gray and brown splotches all over the ceiling.
Bleach would probably be effective, but very unpleasant and difficult to
use without getting it on the canvas, upholstery and carpeting, not to
mention in the eyes and other body openings. Maybe hydrogen peroxide 3%?

Surely I'm not the first to face this problem.  Any experience-based advice
welcome.
