Why is it that everyone assumes if you use a chlorine base cleaner that the 'stitching' will suddenly disintegrate on you boat seats??

When you do a load of whites with bleach do the clothes disentegrate?

Does the 'stitching' suddenly fall out of your underwear?

I am serious here. I don't get it. Chlorine is the BEST mold and mildew cleaner there is. It is the only thing I know of that will actually KILL mold. Mold is a living breathing organism, if you don't KILL it, it comes back. Case in point, Maverick down below needs MORE of his high priced cleaner this year. I would bet money it is the same spots as last year that need to be cleaned again.

The key is RINSING. You need to rinse very well after using bleach, but that is true of ANY cleaner. It is also vital to put a UV protectorant back on after using bleach, but once again, this is true after any good cleaning.

Personally, I would rather spend the big money on the protectorant than so called Mold and Mildew cleaners. If you check the ingredients of most those comercially available cleaners you will find a fancy name for chlorine anyway. I KNOW this is true of Starbright cleaner. They get $15 a PINT for a weak BLEACH solution.

Barnum was right.
