What to use to clean dirty upholstry?

Another vote for totally awesome. If its really grimey use it straight up, otherwise dilute per the instructions.

Just make sure to use a good protectant/conditioner afterwards like I prefer Babe's Seat Saver, but lots of people love 303 Aerospace Protectant as well.

Watch the overspray with the straight up non diluted stuff. IT will leave spots and streaks on you gelcoat if you don't wipe it down with some water.

Another great vinyl cleaner in Malco, just hard to come by in some areas, Totally Awesome is similar enough for me and readily available at my Dollar Store and much cheaper

I was at West Marine today and the salesman there told me to use a 10% Amonia/water mix to take out some mildew stains and kill the bacteria.

Anyone have any experience with using this?

Its yellow fluid in a clear plastic bottle with red writting on label. I'm a big fan of TA because it is the bee's knee's for cleaning annything. Be sure a rinse well what your cleaning with fresh water. Not sure what the sun does to the vinyl with lingering residue. It is a touch hard on the stitching in that I have seen a few broken strans...nothing to be really worried about. I'm just OCD about, well, everything.

I have become very big on Boat Bling's Vinyl Sauce and Condition Sauce...It works extremely well and what I use daily for the interior cleaning. My 2 cents.

YUp Yellow colored cleaner with red writing on the bottle.

I found it at walmart in large bottles for about $2 last year. Supposedly they don't carry it any more, but I think you can still find it at dollar general or the dollar store in smaller bottles for $1

BABE's........all the way for the interior.

Vinegar/water wipedown for the outside. Simple and clean.

Just got my order of Malco last night. I cannot believe how well it works. I did one cushion last night and was very impressed with how well it cleaned.

Krud Kutter and a nylon bristle brush. VERY carefully using a pressure washer to rinse after scrubbing tackles a really dirty job. Pressure washing the carpet after applying cleaner is great also.
