White or clear vinegar can be very effective at cleaning and killing mould spores, particularly on hard surfaces such as dashboards, vinyl trim etc.
I use it on my suede steering wheel which gets covered in mould every year while the car is in storage over winter, and it fetches it off nicely.

Perhaps test it out on a small discreet patch somewhere first though just to make sure

to stop it in the first place, i wrap the seat belts and steering wheel in the quattro with cling film over the winter. works a treat . .
