Mildew stains in fabric

I've just dug out the buggy bit of my Bugaboo (no comments on me having a bugaboo please ) and my Maclaren - as ds2 wants out of the pram. They were covered in mould - I think from being stored in a garage where we also keep the tumble dryer. I've washed them both down with hot soapy water but some black mildew stains remain on one of the buggies - not a major drama - but is it possible to get them out and if so what with?

try wash powder, water and scrub at it

I have this problem with our buggy and outgrown car seats - how does everyone else manage to store theirs without mouldy/mildewy bits?

steam cleaner worked wonders on ours, might work but mine wasn't too mouldy IYSWIM

I've used a tiny amount of neat bleach & it worked on my maclaren quest, without fading the colour. I brushed it on with a paint brush.

I'd try it on a part you can't see first though..
