Any suggestions how to remove tiny specks of mould on the screens? I pulled them all down for the winter. We do have a protec cover on the van , but these are breathable. We keep the van on the drive by a hedge, it’s only the screens on the hedge side that are affected. I have some Cillit Bang black mould remover which I use in our bathroom at home, could I try this do you think? I’d appreciate any advice, thanks.

ok use something like board pressed against the blinds, then use some vanish and a toothbrush and gently scrub it in, leave to work for a bit while you have a cuppa, and then come back and try scrubbing gently again, it should remove the marks, then using a clean tea towel rub so the soap comes off and leave to dry with some air flow

I've sprayed ours with Dettol mould and mildew spray. Place an old cloth behind to avoid spray getting on anything else as it may bleach furnishings.

Basic washing powder diluted with warm water is the best solution and a good alternative to using expensive chemicals. With an assistant holding a wooden or nylon chopping board on the opposite side of the flyscreen, work in the solution gently with a soft paint brush and leave it to soak for a short while which should lift the stains very much the same as it does with clothes in a washing machine. Finally apply clear water to rinse off in the same way and leave to air dry naturally. That's how we have always treat our flyscreens anyway when neeeded with positive results every time.
