Re: mildew trouble
To reduce moisture and prevent mold buildup install a dehumidifier in your garage!!!!.

Re: mildew trouble
Do you have moisture coming up through the slab? Maybe try and epoxy coating on the garage floor? Also, make sure you have vents going to outside to allow airflow. You don't want that garage hermetically sealed, will cause fungus, mildew, etc.

Mold / mildew needs moisture to grow. Dry the humid air = mold is stopped. Rust is slowed / stopped, too.

Re: mildew trouble
A dehumidifier will drive your electric bill sky high, though.
