Default Spring cleaning seats

I'm in the process of returning my Mastercraft back into the water after the winter and have some mould/mildew on the seats that I couldn't remove and store.

Any suggestions on the best product to use to clean the white vinyl seat covers? I did read somewhere that bleach has a habit of weakening the seat stitching... any of you guys got any favourite cleaners?

Cillit Bang for sure. I use a small amount on a damp cloth and apply to the seats. Use more if stain is stubborn. But I always wash them down after with lots of fresh cold water and a separate cloth. Been doing this for several seasons (every other week when in use) and interior looks like brand new with no deterioration. I would wear rubber gloves to save your hands. Hope this helps.

JML/Flash/mr magic erasers are what I use. You can get them at most super markets and they are great on all vinyl upholstery.

No soap, bleach, or detergents. Just a simple firm sponge block and some warm water.

Then go over with some 303 and job done.

Another vote for Magic Sponge thing! Works great on my white vinyl.

Cowboy, I finally found some 303 Aircraft Protectant - see pic. Is the right stuff? Do you use the 303 Cleaner as well?

Cheers for the tips... I had a go with a normal sponge and some weak detergent, it got the worst off but I need to have another go with something better. Boots have a deal on the magic sponge wotsit so I'll try one of those.
