Best cleaner for mould?
When I put the sv away last year I forgot to wash it, so when I checked on it a few weeks later all the bugs and stuff had gone mouldy
So I gave it a wash then, but with it being freezing cold winter I didn't give it a brilliant clean. It has been outside under a cover since then. I'll be getting it back on the road soon, so just went and had a look. There isn't a lot of mould this time, but there are small bits in the hard to reach areas that I must have missed. So what would be the best cleaning product to sort of kill off all this horribleness ? Especially in all the hidden bits I can't see. |

A good ride in torrential rain and a bit of a scrub after

Re: Best cleaner for mould?
anything containing bleach will kill mould, but i don't know how good bleach is for a motorcycle, for paintwork especially it's not the best

isopropyl alcohol and washing up liquid or equivalent suds type stuff or you could go the whole hog and use caravan/motorhome cleaner by fenwicks which is designed for mouldy caravans. get the motorhome cleaner if you can as its the doggyzz doodazzz.

Milton solution may work. Used for sterilising baby bottle and even food. I believe it kills mould. I've used it to wash a wall in a rental house before which was mouldy as feck. It stayed away afterwards.

Re: Best cleaner for mould?
Don't use washing up liquid. It contains salts that will do more harm than good.
