Roger and Listees,

I've had good luck, and satisfaction,  with two products I bought in RV
stores, at no-questions-asked- prices.

1. Bioshield Dura Last, as the label reads, "Mold, mildew, remover and
all-purpose CLEANER, imparts antibacterial properties, color-safe for
fabric, 22 fluid ounces (650 ml)" manufactured by Bioshield Technologies,
Inc. Atlanta, GA, 30326." $8.18, plus tax.
2. Bioshield Dura Shield, as the label reads, "Mold, mildew and odor
PROTECTANT, permanently bonds to all surfaces, imparts antimicrobal
properties, 22 fluid ounces, (650 ml)"  $12.49,  plus tax- different RV
store in different state.

One (remover) cleans without bleaching or affecting dye, and the other
(protectant) has prevented return of mold, mildew and odor for at least 9
months. One label states that product  is "antibacterial" and the other that
product is "antimicrobal."

I used about two ounces of each solution last summer, and the interior of
the Westy top, the "fuzzy" surface, is spic and span.  Other potions may do
well, but these have done the job for me without stains, deteriorations or
damage.
This is my experience.  Usual disclaimer apply.
