How to Get Mold Out of a Vinyl Trailer Top

Mold tends to grow most easily on porous or organic surfaces. While your vinyl trailer top is neither of these, the dirt, dust and other natural debris that collects on the vinyl surface creates an effective environment for mold to grow. You can avoid the formation of mold fungus on your trailer top by keeping the vinyl clean. But if mold is already present, you can successfully remove it with supplies found around the home.
