Any of y'all know of any product or any secrets to get mildew out of boat seats? Heard Totally Awesome would do it but it didn't work. Tried bleach on area not easily seen as I knew bleach wasn't good for seats but it didn't work either. Would think there would be something out there to get rid of it

Hard to believe that a bathroom cleaner with bleach and about 30 min of direct sunshine will not remove it. Did you let the sun hit the bleach or just put the bleach on, wait, and remove it? I do believe the sunlight will "activate" the bleach.

straight bleach will do it. let it sit for 10 minutes and then hit it with a pressure washer. you better clean the seams real good and put something oil based on them so they do not tear. this is the worst thing that you can put on the seats but it has the best results. enter at your own risk.

Starcraft mildew remover has worked for me. I get it in the boat cleaning supplies at academy sports.

Marine dehumidifier.......stick it under the boat cover and it will get all of the moisture and you don't have to worry about mold or mildew.

NO NO NO, well it will take the mildew off but will destroy the vinyl where you use it, basically like rubbing the vinyl with sandpaper, Starbrite 303 Mildew remover works like a champ, http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/st ...
