Bleach will indeed hasten the deterioration of the material. People hand-washing and rinsing the insides of a PUP cannot remove all of the bleach and therein lies the problem.
I have had good luck with Iosso Mold and Mildew Stain Remover. It is designed for woven materials (primarily sails for sailboats) and is non-toxic, doesn't smell (important when you are inside a PUP) and is biodegradable. I googled a supplier and have been quite pleased with it.
The RV dealer has some dedicated cleaner to remove mildew stains. What little I got to use worked pretty good. Unfortunately, I just spent two weeks in the cardiac unit and may need to sell the trailer and some other toys to pay my part of huge medical bill. The trailer, at least one, possibly two of my vehicles and possibly my motorcycle will need to go to make my portion of the bill.
