Stefan:

Many listmembers have recommended using a spray bottle conatining a water
and bleach solution: obviously not a lot of bleach, maybe 1 tbsp per spray
bottle(1 litre). Use a scrub brush and eye protection. I used this
successfully on the inside of my poptop to remove mold/ mildew and it worked
with no negative repercussions so far.  That was in May, 1999.  Good luck.
