Note that they dillute the bleach (1 cup) with water (1 gallon) before they add the vinegar. :naughty:More like overkill. This is the absolute nuclear mold option. As in kill Anthrax. And the mix sounds too hot. Dilute a strong bleach mix in a gallon of water and add a cup of household white vinegar. Do this outside or in Level C PPE, full face protection with organic vapor (carbon) carts. Actually, belay that, you surely don't have the training, as indicated by your taste in rum.
Start with Z Cleaner or something off the shelf.

Vinyl coated cushion cleaning

Different strokes, alright. We nearly always have some bleach on the boat, though we are pretty careful with storage and usage. We've found that nothing works better than bleach to keep mildew in check.
On the original topic, we have vinyl cockpit cushion covers (stitched) that have become stained from sweat/sunscreen (Coppertone Sport in case anyone is curious). Nothing we have tried has gotten them clean but I see a couple suggestions I have not tried, so thanks to everyone.

I consider bleach and vinegar to be essential boat chemicals, carry both. 1/8 teaspoon unscented bleach/gal. water treats the water tanks. Vinegar cleans/kills mold and de-calcifies the marine heads. Store them separately, and the bleach in a vented locker.
Best bet is to use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. No real pressure needed and does an amazing job in minutes. It's an a remarkable product for cleaning anything on the boat. And cheap.
