Assuming the dome is Plexiglas could Clorox cause it to yellow?

I know you are not suppose to use window cleaner in Plexiglas

I use Tilex on just about everything.

IMHO THE best mold remover and protector. Not abrasive and no acids.

I used it on a house I bought in Florida where the gutters were pure black with Florida mold. Spray on and wipe off.

Also used it on my MH when it became covered with Florida's infamous green and black mold and pollen from the trees after only sitting for just a few months.

2 years now in Florida's humid summers and the gutters are still white and the MH does too.

Can you get this stuff in a local store or online only? I'd be willing to try it on my awning. Used Tilex last weekend - sprayed on and rolled it up for 15 minutes. Then rolled out, brushed and rinsed. It didn't do as well as expected.

Edit: Just read again - you mentioned Lowes?

Thanks to everyone for their help. WNF might be the winner. I'll also checkout moldamore.

wet N forget is the best thing since sliced bread, but primarily prevents mold regrowth. I always remove mold with clorox before using the wnf and I think the directions for it say to add some clorox?
don't have a bottle here. i use it on stained cedar siding. I think it is supposed to adhere for residual effects also and I doubt a smooth plastic is ideal for that. costco is the only place I have found it.

I use it on vinyl siding with great results. Best stuff I know of to prevent regrowth.

Yup. Tilex. Spray it on, let it sit 3 or 4 minutes, hit it with a scrub brush and RINSE THOROUGHLY.

There are some sprays available for killing mold & mildew. I had some when I had a boat. I can't recall whether the label said anything re plastics. So, look in the boating section at a Wal Mart or other store and see what you find.
I know you can also find it online. Do a search for "mold & algae sprays" at Amazon, and you'll see a list of products to check out which you may be able to buy locally.
