thanks for the article, but it soes not cover the issue i have- mildew. i dont have a problem with dirt or bird droppings. it could be that my top is not the modern canvas, its the old school material. I have tried several solutions and the only two that work are Bleech White and my homemade solution. It dosent seem to have an adverse effect, it just takes a lot of elbow grease.
