Mould on the cladding sealant


Hi we have a 2 year old supreme van, we can't fault it but we have noticed that the sealant on the edges against the protective edge strips have an unsightly appearance of mould, i have tried various "mould" removing products but they don't work! Any Ideas!!! Does anyone else have this problem? Or do i have to just live with it? we take pride in our van and it's frustrating!!

Have you tried the oil of cloves method?....that is the only one that kills the mould spores which simply grow back. I think it's 1/4 tsp oil of cloves in a litre of water, spray, leave overnight, remove with damp cloth or toothbrush for tight places.

I have a similar problem with the sealant around the access hatches in my camper, the maker of the camper advised me to use a razor to trim carefully around the edge of the sealant, it seems to grow on it's own and gets black with mould, I have to do it every few months but seems to work.
