I made the mistake of not covering my RPod over the winter and spring. It is dirty but not just dust or tree pollen. It is mold/mildew I guess. Dark gray color. What can I clean it with? Soapy water gets the dirt but not the crap. I am afraid to use a mildew type bathroom cleaner. I did try a spray I use to clean vinyl siding and it help a little. Any products I can buy?

Borax in water works well as an anti-mildew agent. Use it on my house here in Olympia, WA.

I use 1 cup to 1 gal, if mold is severe I add 1 cup of vinegar to the mix, warm water works best. I apply with a long handled carwash brush and rinse. Works well on my roof. I have a 3 gal bucket I use on Pod. At start of season I wax afterward.

BTW - Borax is like 5 bucks at Lowes for 60 some ounces and cleaning vinegar is less than 2 bucks for 60 some ounces. Several applications.

Wonder if a cup of clorox in a bucket of water would work? Probably have to toss your clothing afterwards, and watch your wind drift. A ladder and a long handle brush, and rinse with a gentle stream rather than a spray.

I read somewhere that a good mix to use for dirty awnings is: 1/4 cup liquid dish soap, 1/4 cup bleach, 5 gal water. Should work on trailer body also.

SH I would say it cleans mildew as it parked outside mildew is hard to prevent without a stronger chemical and I'm not convinced that is way to go.
I use vinegar instead of bleach, works just as well, slightly acidic, it's cheap compared to bleach, there is uses for bleach but I do not apply it to my vehicles. |
