Pollen stain
Any suggestions on removing these pollen stains from my boat upholstery? I have tried Fantastic and Windex with no improvement. |

Two things you can try...
#1. Isopropyl / rubbing alcohol full strength #2. A mixture of 10% bleach and 90% water. Use a small scrub brush to get into the pours of the vinyl and to help remove. Try in an inconspicuous area first for colorfastness. When complete be sure to rinse thoroughly and dry completely then treat with 303 or similar product to prevent drying out. Good Luck! Dan

I have not yet had a problem. I lightly wet the magic eraser. Just be gentle. I don't use bleach because it raises issues with thread. Dan's 10% idea may work though. A friend has also had some luck with a product called Vinyl Sauce.

So I recently found out about this product, I have just gotten a bottle and will be trying it out the next time I am at the lake, I will try and remember to take some before an after photos, and respond back here....

I've had great luck with Z Cleaner which you can buy at WestMarine (or several places online)

Buy some 30% cleaning vinegar at Lowes or Home Depot. Mix it 3 parts water one part cleaning vinegar and dap it onto the stain with a cloth or good paper towel. Let it sit for a day and the stain should be gone. Very safe, environmental friendly way to remove algae and algae stains. Works on wood and bricks, too.
