We have made the mistake of leaving out fly screens down over winter and we think they have got mould on them. There is none anywhere else but little black marks which look like a small x from a slight distance.  Has anyone experienced this and any ideas on how to get rid.thanks .

    Wash off and allow to dry thoroughly.

    Yes we have had this problem in the past. All we did was I went outside the van with windows open and held a flat surface against the fly screen while my wife sprayed a bleach solution onto them then gently rubbed it in then left to dry. I am sure other's will come up with other solutions

    We too had this last year.  So, when in Italy in June we decided to sort it out!  Me outside with a soft brush and warm soapy water (not bleach), Jeni inside holding the flat of a dust pan on the inside of the screens.  We cleaned all the fly screens by gently scrubbing the mould which easily came off and we then treated ourselves to a well earned glass of vinocool
