I use a marykate ultra vinyl cleaner and scrub that with a magic eraser. Then I use 303 aerospace protected every 2 weeks.

Bleach

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

I tried that once but scared it would hurt upholstery.

Also heard it was even harsh on the finish, anything to it?

I usually pressure wash everything but doesn't get rid of it on the seats.

Be careful with bleach. It can discolor and crack older vinyl.

I have found bleach works well but it eats up the sewing thread in short order!try soft scrub and try not to get on the sewing!Wipe off excess before hoseing down, also work on stainless and alum.

Tilex Mildew Root (not plain ole Tilex).

This is the best thing I've ever used. Try not to use in direct sunlight on seams, as I've heard of it messing up some stitching.

Go over the product with the 303 Aerospace protectant. After that, take some Vasoline and run it down your stitched seams.

Tilex Mildew Remover is great. Spray it on and wash off 60seconds later. Just don't get it on you clothes. They bleach that quick too.

Will the tiles hurt the color on the vinyl?

Had to bump this thread because I just used the Publix knockoff of the Tilex Mildew product on my leaning post seat. It was mucho dirty. Sprayed that stuff on it and within minutes it looks brand new. Gave it a thorough rinse and I'm a happy camper. Thanks for the suggestions folks!
