What Is Best Black Mildew Stain Remover For Vinyl Boat Seats

[Fishinrob]

My 2007 18 Ft aluminum jon boat is stored at the coast in a storage room. When I opened the door I had a surprise, The $20,000 present from my wife still looks new except the seats were covered in black blotches of mildew.

In the past on other boat seats I have tried bleach and water and it removes a lot of it but still leaves a stain. They are a grey vinyl "bass boat type removable seats". Is there anything that really works short of buying new ones?????

Thanks in advance ....

My wife has a little neat hand held steamer that we use, I think you can get one for 50.00 or under

Simple Green and a brush will keep them clean!!!! Then spray them with Son-Of-A-Gun.

I have used Tilex on my seats for years, has not hurt the fabric or stain it. Let it set till all the mold/mildew is gone and hose off. You may have to do it every six months, I just did all my deck chairs and boat seat last week. Nice and white today. Just remember to rinse very well.

I havent tried it yet, but my first try would be the magic eraser.

I second Tilex. Been using it for several years now.

I use StarBrite Mildew Stain Remover but I suspect it's probably the same as Tilex but more expensive. I'll be trying Tilex on my next cleaning.

Gunk orange waterless hand cleaner with pumice rubbed on the cushion will have both your hands and cushion looking like new in 30 seconds.

My wife uses that magic eraser by Mr. Clean with plain water
to clean the mold off her pontoon boat seats..
...it really works well....
