Best cleaner for interior plastic veneer surfaces

I have a Sterling Eccles 2007 caravan. Although the van is stored undercover (in a tractor shed) I still get a little dusty mildew building up on the plastic immitation wood veneer surfaces most winters. I do keep the roof vent partly open to allow some
airing.  The mildew wipes of easily.  Currently I use diluted "Flash" solution to clean. however friends say this leaves a residue which may be encouraging the mildew?  A bleach solution could damage the surface.  I could try "Milton". Does anyone have a better
idea on what may be an appropriate cleaner?

    We clean down with an antibacterial cleaner, leave for a few minutes and then wipe off, making sure we leave everything dry.

    have heard more comments recently on mildew than previously, perhaps it has something to do with all the recent wet weather and high humidity. We need some crisp and sunny winter days!

    Nearly all roof vents are ventilated even when 'closed'!?

    PS. Milton is a bleach solution!

    If you're looking for a really good cleaner Mrs M does a good job of it (for a small fee, of course!)

    Wink. Use left and right arrows to navigate.
