I've noticed the cover to my bimini top is really dirty with mold and dirt. Any of you have a good product or home remedy to take care of this.
Thanks,
Tom

Try a half cup of bleach and some laundry detergent in a pail of water. Scrub with a stiff brush. Leave the suds sit on the problem spots for a few minutes.
Caution: DO NOT use dish detergent or Ammonia with bleach. Most dish detergents have some ammonia in them.

I was told bleach might eat at the threads? I need something so maybe I'll give it a shot.

City water has Chlorine in it, Chlorine is the active ingredient in bleach. If you want try 1/4 cup in the pail for starters, and it may do the job. rinse it off as soon as it destroys the mold. The Mold itself may have already damaged the top.

I bought some stuff from West Marine one time that worked pretty good. I believe it was called Mildew Remover. It took all of it off for me.
