Ammonia is the only thing that kills mold and mildew spores== a recipe of 1/4 cp ammonia to 3/4 cp water. A damp rag to wash it off and dry rag right behind then oil your machine. This will not hurt paint or decals. I've been using this recipe for 40+ yrs. Lysol and bleach will not kill mold or mildew spores, they only zap the color out of it. They are still there spreading and growing and they will be seen again. **Household Tip** You can add up to 2 oz of Ammonia to each gallon of paint to prevent mold /mildew returning to those area's we all seem to find. Ex. bathrooms/basements- Wash the area in above recipe -let air dry-then paint
