I had a lot of mold and tried a couple of solutions.

Starbrite mold cleaner just dissolved the stuff with no scrubbing, but it was hard to stop dripping onto places it shouldn't, (not sure if its available in the UK). Rinsing it off was going to be problematic too. In the end I had to do some repairs to the canvas at the same time so I took the poptop off and laid the roof on the ground. A 33% bleach solution worked too, but I had to leave it soaking for an hour to remove the mold rather than a couple of minutes with Starbrite.

The pop top interior has a furry like feel to it - where I've rubbed it so hard with mild bleach I now have a bald patch along witht he remenants of a mould stain. What are my options - I'm thinking I'll simply have to paint the interior of the pop top to get it looking decent again.
