If left untreated, vinyl boat cushions can develop mildew and mold stains that are difficult to remove. Fortunately, several methods are available to clean stains from your vinyl boat cushions with little fuss. .

Scrub the stains on the vinyl cushion with the Magic Eraser sponge, moving in a circular motion until the stains begin to diminish.
Step 3
Spray your cleanser for marine stains or mold and mildew remover into a rag or cloth.
Step 4
Rub the cloth over the surface of the vinyl cushion, applying extra pressure to the areas with heavy soil. Repeat as necessary.
Step 5
Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and screw the cap on tightly.
