I had a good attack of mould over the winter period.
What work for cleaning it off? ie White vinegar , Eucalyptus oil?
Does Oil of Cloves keep it off.
Ventilation works but not always possible.
Have you had success with humidifiers or air purifiers?
Any answers would be appreciated
We use a mix of bleach in water, wipe it on with a cloth. Watch it though, if you make it strong whatever you spill it on will turn white.
There is probably 'Exit Mould ' in your local supermarket.
I installed a 100mm computer fan. Which is on all the time boat is left unattended. It reduces my mold by at lest 80%
And you dont get that musty smell when you first arrive.

Yep, I have 3 USB computer fans strategically placed, in conjunction with a couple solar vents, to keep the air circulating that run when I'm not on board.
No mould!!
I installed 5 Seabird ventilators. They are about $15 each. In a mainly flush deck I was surprised how much light they let in to the interior. I also removed the danbuoy tube from the transom leaving about 50cm of 150mm pvc tube. I placed some fish net over the inner end to keep birds out. So now I have air entering at the bow through the winch hawse pipe and the seabird vents that flows right through the boat and out the stern. If you have wood inside your boat you need air passing right through. The warm air off the engine in my boat passes out the hatch. In a yacht with the engine under the cockpit you need a vent high up on the stern. There will be no mould with a flow through ventilation system.
There's an article here that might be of interest. Not Aust products but it's a good review.

Also this one - I've used TSP with good success.
