Try brushing one part bleach to six parts water. Its what they use to
wash off 'growers' on grave stones.


Thankd=s for the tip. Bleach certainly seems to work well for mildew.
Having said that, the last time I killed some inderior mildew with bleach,
some other form of growth took over. It looked like white fluff! When I saw
that, I thought "Ah, that stuff must LOVE alkalinity!! So I doused the wall
with vinegar! No more white fluff, to date...
