How to get black mould out of a buggy cover?

Can anyone help?

We have been given a really decent buggy via freecycle. It was filthy, but in good working order. We've washed the covers in biological washing powder oat 60 degrees, but black mould spots remain....

Is there anything I can do? I don't want to be a wastrel, but I don't think I can face using it in the state it's in.

Any advice gratefully received.

'Kim&Aggie' recommend rubbing area with lemon juice! Doesn't say if you're meant to rinse area!? I would have thought it would go sticky? Natural disinfectant. good luck x

Ta - I have been googling like a mad woman - I hear lemon or bleach and water...hmmm. Bleach seems a bit less labour intensive!

I've had the same problem and am now wondering if the pram can be dyed?

dettox mould remover it is,you would need to do a patch test first just incase,
another post said a steam cleaner worked wonders!

i think lakeland do a mould remover too, but it might be just for tiles/grout. i've never used it (look at my bathroom for proof), but i have heard of it (on mn).

I scrubbed with brush and washing up liquid and it worked
