cleaning a mouldy Waeco travel bag

Hi folks
Just bought a CF80 from the tropics, so has plenty of mould & mildew on the canvas bit of the bag. Anyone tried to remove this type of stain? Obviously dont want to harm the insulation inside.
All the 'hint' sites deal with tent canvas & say use salt water.
Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks

salt water is a good way of getting the initial mould/mildew off usually. A heavy paste of salt that is.
