Pour undiluted white distilled vinegar into a spray bottle. Vinegar is great at getting rid of mold/mildew, and it also eliminates the bad odor. Spray the vinegar onto the affected areas. Let it sit for several hours, ideally outside in the sun.
Use warm, sudsy water to wash it, and hang the garment to dry in a clean, dry place.

hello, the first thing I suggest you do is wait for a nice hot sunny day, WHY? because the sun will kill of the mildew or mould. So leave in the sun then add fresh lemon juice. you say the pram is expensive so therefore it might be of dry cleaning material, so in this case you add lemon juice ans salt. leave to dry then wash with a sponge and tepid water . leave in the sun to dry . You might have to do this a couple of times but it will come off, Also next time you store this with material make sure you give the item lots of fresh air , it´s lack of ventilation that causes the mildew. better a little bit of dust on the pram than mildew

purchase a high quality kind mold killer eg "go out mold". some paintings in as low as 3 minutes. purely spray the mildew & watch it disappear until now ur very eyes. U do not even ought to bathe or wipe! yet open a window or activate a fan, it rather is noticeably fumey & don't get it on ur outfits! I used to bathe lodge rooms (the main disgusting you will ever see) and that's the only element that worked for me! At abode in my bathing room I used an additive to provide up mold offered from a ironmongery shop. mixed it in with my customary paint & gave my bathing room a clean coat of paint. No mold ever returned!

detox mold and mildew remover gets black mold of fabrics and in most cases does not remove the colour with it......
i also used it to get a stain out of a carpet and carpet came up good as new... test it on a small area first just in case but i use it all the time and its only arrounf £2 a bottle.
also good for getting black mould of curtains, just spray it on... leave it for a few mins to work then wash as normal....
tried and tested and works a treat.
