Spent the last couple hours cleaning two of the bottom bow cushions. About an hour on each one. Apparently there had been honey bees living under there and there was residue from their hive. All in all I am pleased with the progress being made with a sponge, soft scrub w/ bleach, a tooth brush, and lost of elbow grease. Here are some photos of the progress, the indoor light with flash gave a yellowish colour to the seats, in person they are back to their eggshell white colour.

Getting the dirt out from the crease along piping:

All clean, well I am sure I will clean them one last time, and then hit them with a mildew protectant. (lines on the right cushion are reflected light from flash)

Hope I am not boring you all to death :wink:

That's quite an improvement. :thumbsup:

You might want to use some Spray Nine for the final cleaning. It contains an anti-mildew agent as well and is not as harsh on the vinyl as what you are using.

Once everything is cleaned up nicely, apply some 303 Protectant to the seats as well. This will keeps them looking good and also add some UV protection.
