How does one clean sails of mildew?

Some of my sails (all white) have been living in bags because they are not used regularly, and have picked up small black spots of mildew. I recently sprayed the foam seat cushions with a mixture of bleach and water, and this killed the mildew on them, although it lent them an orange color. Is it possible to spray dacron sails with a similar mixture? Will this work, or will it damage the fabric? If this is a poor idea, is there a better one?

Throw them in a well chlorinated swimming pool

and leave them for the day. Then spread them out over the lawn and let dry.
