White mildew issue

Hi I have the start of white powdery mildew I think. Anyway I have the black saucers and elevators for my fabric pots. After watering plants I left the run off in the pots so its a white residue.. can I spray it with peroxide and kill it or tea tree oil or mix them with water? I was just gonna pour a bit of one or the other in to the saucers.
Also is leaving the run off in the saucer pots a bad thing.. I just figured it would evaporate. Anyway if anyone can help thanks.
A friend said use 60ml peroxide with 60 ml of milk and mix with 1 gallon of water or 5 liters to spray everything down. Is this correct information and good for the plants ?
Also.. I got/ waiting for a dehumidifier and a air purifier to help fix the issue. Will it help any ideas thought would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark here and say you water with tap, is that correct?

need to fix the problem that is causing the powdery mildew.

get more air flow, lower humidity

defoliate anything with the mildew on it immediately
 
Oh okay thanks.
I'm told to spray the plants all over upper and lower leaves once a week with 60ml peroxide and 60ml of milk lol with 5 liters of water. But the milk thing sounds strange to me haha. Have you heard this before?
