Hi all, Just returned to the van for the first time after winter and the flyscreen net in my toilet is covered in what would appear to be black mouldy marks, short of removing the cassette and unwinding it does anyone have a method of cleaning the net and if so what do you use? i had thought of a baking soda solution, Also on some of the wood around the caravan there are black marks it looks like mould spores , i cleaned it off with water and cloths but the marks are still there, anyone any ideas?

many thanks.

Bry

You could try some sort of spray cleaning product for bathrooms the sort that removes mould give it a spray and then a rub with a soft cloth. But I really don't know if this would work I would try a small tester patch somewhere discrete first.

I have successfully done some of mine with a 10% solution of Milton liquid which is a type of bleach used for sterilizing baby stuff. Rinse well with clean water and all should be well.

Hello
after cleaning my mesh flyscreen the bottom silver rail came off. There is a long plastic rod which feeds all the way through. I thought this held the flyscreen mesh in place but it comes out as soon as I touch it again. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi ,
Not sure if I have the right type but some of those rods pass through looped end of the flyscreen and then the thickness of rod and flyscreen hold it in place.
For future reference you can buy new flyscreen on Amazon quite reasonably.
Also a retired plasterer always told me 4 to 1 bleach to water for removing damp spots.Always worked for me in the past.
Regards,
Greg
