Mildew problem...

[qsilver23t]

I have read a lot of conflicting arguments on how to remove mildew stains. I've read that commercial mildew products aren't so reliable. Others have suggested lighter fluid or bleach. I can't make up my mind on which route to take. Does anyone have any good advice or experience on how to remove mildew from the seat?

I've had some limited success making a paste with oxyclean. Never tried it but Dr Honda says Zippo lighter fluid works. Try both methods in an inconspicuous place first. In my experience the commercial products do nothing.

Simple Green
mr clean majic eraser
StarBrite Mildew Stain Remover
Gunk orange waterless hand cleaner
Greased Lightning Marine Formula
50/50 mix of bleach and warm water
Ammonia and water
Castrol super clean
"black streak cleaner" for RV's
Meguire's Mirror Glaze, then 303 aerospace protectant
MOLDZYME (Zymocat)
trisodiumphosphate
Bytrol
powdered Tide w/bleach
Comet
Tilex Mildew Root Penetrator & Remover
Olympic Deck Wash (my preference for aged & deep)

Bleach and ammonia are hard on vinyl. Ask any marine upholsterer. (if still alive)
Bleach and Ammonia do not make a good mix!! That combo can Kill You!
