Mix a solution of warm water and white vinegar or use a dedicated marine vinyl cleaner. Apply it to the affected areas and scrub gently with a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn mold and mildew, a paste of baking soda and water works well. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry the seats completely. Finish with a vinyl protectant to prevent future growth. Regular cleaning and keeping seats dry between uses are the best ways to stop mold and mildew from coming back.
