never used anything else, I have just followed the instruction from Subrella when caring for my covers... http://www.sunbrella.com/na/cc_marine_tops_covers.php
Heavy cleaning for stubborn stains and mildew - direct from the web site.

Sunbrella fabric does not promote mildew growth, however, mildew may grow on dirt and other foreign substances that are not removed from the fabric. To clean mildew, or other stubborn stains:

• Eight ounces (one cup) of chlorine bleach.
• Two ounces (1/4 cup) of mild soap and/or detergent.
• One gallon of water.
• Clean with soft bristle brush.
• Allow mixture to soak into the fabric for up to 15 minutes.
• Rinse thoroughly until all soap residue is removed.
• Air dry.
• Repeat if necessary.
• Re-treatment of fabric for water and stain resistance will be necessary.

Remember to protect the area around your Sunbrella fabric if using a bleach solution. Carpet or other fabrics that are not Sunbrella may have an adverse reaction to the bleach. If a boat cover is suitable in size for a washing machine, these steps should be followed:

• Use mild soap and/or detergent.
• For heavier stains add 1 cup of bleach to wash.
• Wash and rinse in cold water.
• Air dry. Never apply heat to Sunbrella.
• Re-treatment for water and stain resistance will be necessary after machine washing.

Re-treating the fabric

As part of the finishing process, Sunbrella fabrics are treated with a fluorocarbon finish, which enhances water repellency. This finish is designed to last for several years, but must be replenished after a thorough cleaning. Based on test results,
Glen Raven recommends 303 High Tech Fabric Guard™ as the preferred re-treatment product for Sunbrella fabrics. Fabrics should be re-treated after thorough cleaning or after five years of use.
For more information on re-treatment products, please visit www.303products.com.
* Synthetic fabric heat settings normally do not exceed 150°F/66°C.

For sure. Dawn detergent works as well or better than any Bilge cleaner from WM or other places. Just an example of the quote.

I use Iosso all the time on my white drop curtain. It keeps it looking brand new. Great product.
