I know this has been asked before but I am looking for maybe more current information. Doing a search of this forum I see Starbrite Mildew Remover and a formula of Peroxide, water and ammonia. Any others, please?
Thanks,
LL

Used this product this past season and it worked better than any others I have tried.
Amazon's Mildew Stain Away
Developed to remove mildew stains and prevent their return, Amazon's world renowned, biodegradable formula can be applied to most colored fabrics including furniture, sails, life jackets, clothes, carpeting, etc. The chlorine free formula will not remove color or break down stitching. The pleasant fragrance allows Mildew Stain Away to be used in close quarters without harmful fumes. It also works effectively on hard fiberglass and tile surfaces.

If you really want to get rid of the mildew then just use bleach and water. If you pay the outrageous price for Starbrite you will find that it is bleach and water. Bleach is water, chlorine and caustic. Starbrite uses more caustic and less chlorine. I have a freind who works for Clorox in a bleach factory. He paid the high price for Starbrite last year and read the ingredients when he got home. He promptly returned it. It was several dollars a quart. He gets bleach for free.
Bleach water is fine as long as you rinse well. Very well. It is the only thing that will kill the mildew. Many other cleaners claim to but fall short in practical use. Rinse well and then clean and treat the vinyl. Fantastik is a great cleaner and recomended by several manufacturers. For protection there is a product developed for the airline industry that works very well. I don't recall the name but Fomby's uses it and sells it. It is expensive but worth the money.
One other thing that works well is SUNLIGHT. The ultra-violet light will kill the mold and mildew. It will leave behind the black stains though.

I have been using the same product to remove mildew and mold for many years. I use it to clean my houseboat, my vinyl siding on my house and most anything that stays out in the weather. The name of the product is Jomax, located in most hardware stores and homeimprovement centers. It is mixed with water and bleach and it is important to follow the mixing instructions. I buy it in 5 gallon containers. It reduces the amount of bleach required to do the job.
Hope this will be helpful.

The only problem with using bleach is you run the risk of rotting the seam threads unless the bleach is diluted and rinsed well with water. Unless rinsed well, the seams will rot and tear. I would use caution if trying to clean an older boat as the seams may already be weak.
