Can anyone suggest how best to clean green mould from the rubbers on the passenger and drivers door window seals and around the mirrors of Fiat Ducato ?

@Charlie should be able to advise you on this I'm sure he has done several threads on detailing.

Soapy water and a toothbrush is what I use. I have a selection of dishwashing brushes from a pound shop for all the different bits.

Im a newbie
I have used tyre buffing solution on rubber elements on cars with good results. It is available off EBay or from you local tyre fitting company.

It is a nasty product though so wear gloves and rinse really really well after use. It's the product tyre fitters use to clean the inside of a tyre before repairing it.

many many years! since I was a kid
a friend of mine who fixed washing machines fir a living told me that he used 50% meths and 50% lemon juice to remove mould from washing machine rubber seals. works like magic, but all down to chemistry of course

First clean with a small brush and soapy water with a small amount of Milton. When dry treat with Gummi Pflege , get the applicator with a sponge as the lipstick type is difficult to apply.

what ever you do, dont drip milton fluid on any fabrics, it is a mild but effective bleach
