Mildew Removal

I do hope someone can help me!

My other half is trying to persuade me that he needs a new golf bag as his old one is covered in mildew (from lack of use!).

I have tried in vain to remove it but it just wont shift.

Anybody got any idea's??

Many thanks

    miltons (as used for sterilising baby things) is usually the best for this. You could make up a spray bottle as per the instructions on the bottle. NB it can take colour out of fabric, so be a bit careful and test a bit first if it's important to you.

    Bleach does the trick normally but this would depend on what fabric (or plastic) the golf bag is made from.

    I agree with tea tree oil - saw it first on How Clean Is Your House & tried it on mildew and mouldy places (like bathroom windowsill & bathroom curtains) & it really works and seems to go on working - haven't had to use it again and that must have been 6 months ago.
