cleaning the boat

Ditto what NoBozo suggested about 'Magic Eraser'. I have same mold issue, within vinyl and seats, as a result of winter storage. Annually as part of my Spring boat cleanup, I first wipe the seats and vinyl with a mixture of gallon of water with about a 1/2 cup of regular bleach, then finish with the Magic Eraser, comes clean every time !

Caution when selecting the 'Magic Eraser', b/c it comes in different grades.
I'd buy the least coarseness/minumum strength. I think that one may be the original 'Magic Eraser'. They make a SUPER Magic Eraser, but think that may be too strong, and really not needed. That SUPER could actually marr the vinyl finish.

Good luck !
