Maureen   use   some  cream  cleanser  like   Cif  and   a   sponge   washing up  pad, the  type  with  a   nylon  scourer  on one  side.  As  long  as  you  don't  press  too  hard   around  the  seams  of the  hood,  you  can't  do  a lot of  damage   and  it  should   remove  anything that is  going  to come off.  I haven't  never   had  a problem  with  mould    on   a  navy lining,  but  I have  had it  with  a camelia  lining  when  it  usually  appears  as  mildew,   and then  very often  nothing  removes it.   So   good  luck  with it

Oh  brilliant  Maureen,  can't  wait  to  seeit  when it has  had a  good  scrub with my old  friend  the  cream  cleanser,  I  just  love  that  stuff!   It  is a  prammies  best  pal  I think.

I'm  afraid  that  I have  never managed  to  find  one of the  rubby  hand  grips   up  to  now Maureen, if  I  do  I'll  put it into  the PramSuppliers/Services  section,  that is  where  I  would  normally  put  this  sort of  info.
