Back in mid February Harry Yates answered my query about mold on the inside
of the pop-top.  He suggested using 1 teaspoon of bleach to 1 litre of
water and applying the solution with a toothbrush.  After 5 minutes, rinse
with plain water.  I know you are looking for a solution without chlorine
bleach BUT, I tried this and the results were excellent.  If you have large
patches of mold you may want to use a larger scrub brush.  This removed the
mold and the soft drink stains on the inside of my pop top and left a
clean, uniform appearance.
