Hi Dave,
I had to fight some mildew issues with my porsche when I got it, and used 25% vinegar concentrate which we can buy in the supermarkets here, and then mixed it 1:1 with water. Wash everything in the car with that, because there are mold/mildew spores even where you can't see them. The acidity of the vinegar is a natural killer for the mold. A tooth brush might be a little small for that job
I used a brush that had bristles about as long as a tooth brush, but the surface area about the size of a credit card.
Also after the mold is gone, you can decide if you want to use a natural leather food, or a synthetic one. They say the synthetic leather food/conservers are less prone to catching mold again.
