So far as I know, most if not all those products containe Chlorine Bleech. Not 
sure I would want to 
use that on an interior. There's a Prestone product for cleaning car interiors 
called "Tuff Stuff". 
You can get it at K-Mart or wherever.  Seems to clean pretty well. Not sure it 
"kills" the mildew 
but it takes it off pretty nice.
