Cleaning cargo covers?

[SandBar]

What's the best method to clean dirty cargo covers prior to installing? Got a canvas one and another vinyl like material, both have some dirt and little mold from being outside in the elements on them.

I use a soap designed to kill mold etc on houses for a pressure washer (but in a bucket) and a scrub brush, rinse with fresh water and install to dry.

Excellent idea, thanks.

This stuff was recommended to me by a friend that has a boat detailing business in Florida.

It works on the vinyl for sure.

I just poured 2 gallons of pure bleach in a pump up sprayer and sprayed inside then outside then pressure washer made it look like new on my 1095 trailer cover and it keeps the mold off a lot longer while in storage

Actually bleach is not good for killing mold. It may clean the surface but I believe vinegar is better. Who knew. I didn't believe but it will kill it.

(Then use bleach to clean it up. )

I use spray foaming kaboom mold and mildew cleaner on vinyl covers here in the sub tropics

Thanks all! Anyone have any top bows for sale? Mine are... dismal in condition.
