Just this past week I tried a (relatively) new product called "Casterol
Super Clean, Tough Task Cleaner Degreaser" Super K-Mart has it for $6.99 a
gallon. Claims to be "3-times stronger than Simple Green"

While I haven't used it on the poptop, some other folks on the list have
with great success. This product is incredible in its cleaning abilities,
instantly turning grime and stains into memories. Keep it off your paint,
and off your skin (like bleach) Considering the fact that I foolishly
didn't wear gloves, and this stuff took the skin off my hands, I would say
it is pretty strong.

Have fun.

Subject:        Pop top cleaner

Any suggestions for cleaning mold, mildew and discoloration
from a poptop canvas and ceiling?  What about the outside of
the poptop?  My friend just bought a westy that needs some
TLC, and is looking for some advice on cleaning solutions.
He's also curious about suggestions for new seat cushions
and upper sleeping pad.  Sources?  Ideas for do it
yourself?

I am happy to report that my westy has been amazing this
year so far...a very good girl.  Talking 23 mpg going to the
Oregon coast and lots of family fun.
