In this video I use chlorine and Hydrogen Peroxide products to remove the most stubborn mold off vinyl boat cushions. The mild chlorine product took about an hour of reapplying to work. Then following with peroxide you are guaranteed the chlorine will not eat your vinyl or threads. Hydrogen Peroxide neutralizes Chlorine. Most people skip this step. Also in this video I show you and talk briefly about pink mold. A big problem on some boats. I've ordered a product that advertises to remove it after 5 applications. Subscribe so you do not miss this future video. Thanks for watching and please leave a comment if you know what the blotching is on my cushions!

The blotching is a few possible things: sun damage, sunscreen, color transfer, or a mix of them together. It’s what I normally see on the boats I work with

It has lightened overtime from regular cleaning. Interestingly enough. I agree with you though I see it all the time and it appears to be inherent to the type of vinyl used

Mixed the mold mildew remover with bleach and that did the trick for me.

The blotching is the colour dye from wet clothing, cotton especially.

Good to know! it's seemingly permanent.

@@bobbygfl unfortunately regular cleaners don’t get it out but I think there must be something that does.

buy a bag of lemons. cut the lemon in half and rub all over the mildew. Wait a few minutes and wipe with a damp rag. Very inexpensive way to get rid of mold that most do not know about. Good video.

I don't get why it is so difficult to read thru the basics of Chemistry. There is a difference between reduction and oxidation. Combining chlorine with hydrogen peroxide does not help better, but chlorine is able to harm fibers/textile and you have salt leftover. Bleach is the wrong and unscientific household/idiotic term as it covers the chlorine bleach as well as any peroxide based "bleaches". The best option not to harm plastic and to avoid the deposition of salts (in textile and in the foam of the seat cushions) is to rather use peroxide based cleaners. Btw. this is how laundry detergents handle the whitening (not only OxyClean), how teeth whitening is done, etc. Hydrogen peroxide instead ends up to be water and oxygen.

Hi Bobby, its been two years since you did this video, have you seen any degradation to threads or vinyl?

@bobbygfl 8 ай бұрын

Zero. Coincidence you are asking now because I just did this last weekend. As long as you take care to neutralize the chlorine there is zero adverse effect. I do this maybe three times a year - I would say at least two times a year here in Florida.

Thank you sir. On another note did you ever have any success with the pink mold?@@bobbygfl

@@user-ix2tp7lq2t no I never ended up using the stuff that I bought. I still have it unopened. The reason is it Has to sit in the sunlight for several hours after you apply it. Because my boat is under a canopy and combined with the Bimini, I would have to go anchor out for several hours and position the boat so that area gets Sun. Crazy. But the pink mold does seem to have disappeared. I don’t know why, but the last time I cleaned the boat I didn’t notice it.

That's awesome, maybe your method of mildew removal has effected the pink staining. Merry Christmas to you and yours.@@bobbygfl
