The only mildew remover that works 100% of the time is sodium hydro-chlorate or sodium hydrochloride! And contrary to popular myth, it will not 'eat' the the threads in your upholstery. It will however remove any UV protectant that you have on the vinyl so you need to re-apply. Personally, I think 303 is the best UV protector.

I went to Home Depot one day and looked at all the Mold/Mildew removers on the shelf. EVERY one of them had the same active ingredient, sodium hydrochloride in varying percentages. If you don't believe me, check for yourself.

For those that haven't figured it out yet, sodium hydrochloride is the dreaded bleach. Mix about a 10% bleach and water solution with a little Dawn. Wet, wipe, rinse well. Re-apply 303. No more mold. Always make sure the boat is completely dry before covering is the best preventative you can use. If you cover the boat wet, NOTHING will prevent the mold.

Many will disagree with me. That is fine. They are free to ride n moldy boats...lol.
