I saw another thread about cleaning carpet, which reminded me I wanted to share this as I hadn't seen it mentioned before..
My vinyl headliner in the V-Berth was horrible. I tried all sorts of cleaners and NOTHING seemed to take the mildew off. To make matters worse, I'm 6'4" and getting an angle to use elbow grease is most area's are pretty tough, but still nothing was working.
One day I had a piece of a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser laying in my toolbox so just on a whim a gave it a try. Just dampened it a little, gave a whip and wowsers!!!! I went and got a new Magic Eraser sponge from the kitchen and went to town. In about an hour, not even breaking a sweat, the entire v-berth was clean. It used up the entire eraser, but that was ok. No scrubing, no smells, just clean. The admiral who up until that point hated even going through the v-berth to get to the forward hatch is now looking forward to sleeping in there.
I don't know what's so special about those sponges, but in this case, it was truly the only thing that worked and no more musty smell on the boat.
Just thought I would share.
