I know that chlorine is very bad for polyethlyene and neoprene so I'm
thinking bleach as a mildew cleaner is a bad idea. Is clorox 2 an
additive that wont lead to destruction?
Any other 'granny told me how to keep my kayak smelling well and mildew
free" advice is obviosly up for consideration too.

Chlorine is bad for neoprene, but it doesn't affect polyethylene. We
have poly boats in the pool every Tuesday night and never rinse them
afterwards. The skirts, yes.

I'd try washing it out with a cleaner like Simple Green, rinse well,
then leave to fully dry out. If it still stinks, try some Febreeze.
