Mildew

Post by Connormike73 »

Hi, all!
New owner. I'm looking for recommendations for a good cleaner that's Guaranteed to remove mildew from cabin headliner. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Much appreciated!

Hi Mike -- anything that's guaranteed to remove mildew also has the potential to either bleach it or damage the stitching. I would start with the most mild approach and go from there. Try googling "how to remove mildew from boat headliner" and go from there.

White vinegar industrial cleaner is my goto product for mildew control. It is non-toxic and continues to impede mildew growth for weeks after it has been applied. It is also easier on the lungs and less toxic than bleach. Use a mister bottle to apply, wait a few minutes and wipe off with a damp sponge. It is typically found in the laundry product section of the supermarket.
