How can I remove mould/mildew from dolls pram?

Wondered if anyone can advise on my problem - bought a lovely silver cross dolls pram but found the marks I believed would be easily removed from hood are mould spores and looking for a solution to remove. Have tried spraying with Shout and soaking in soap powder solution but doesn't seem to have helped. Is there anything else I could try? Many thanks

    Dettol do a mould & mildrew remover, as do Lakeland.
  • This has reminded me that I have got my old silver cross dolls pram in the attic. Wonder if its worth shining up and putting on ebay?
    I am playing all of the right notes just not necessarily in the right order :D.
  • Thanks for replies. Decided with a little reluctance to try Dettol Mould & Mildew remover and watched in amazement as those nasty stains disappeared almost before my eyes and no damage to the hood.
    Mrs Veg Plot it is worth shining up your old silver cross and trying out ebay as many of the vintage prams are going for good prices.
  • Hi. Can I ask, did u use the spray on the outside of the pram? I have a few black spots on the outside of the hood and wondered if it was safe to use?
