I've unfortunately found a pretty bad case of black spotted mold/mildew in the
header and wall fabrics inside my boat. It's a light green color and I've
tried many different things with no success at all...Oxy clean, Chlorox 2
bleach for colors, Alcohol/water mixture, variety of spray soaps.

I even bought one of the hand held steam cleaners locally that I saw in an
infomercial on tv...no luck.

Of course, the only thing that works (and it works great) is 4 ounces of bleach
mixed with 1 quart of water (I also added a tablespoon of dishwashing liquid
after seeing this suggestion on the Sunbrella website).

My concern is that the bleach will discolor the fabric although after one full
day on a small area, it hasn't had an effect. Because the areas are on the
walls and ceiling, I can't figure out how to 'flush' or get rid of the bleach
mixture once I spray it on.

Questions:
Any idea on how to get the bleach out of the fabric before it causes damage?
I've got to do the whole "V-berth" area.
If the bleach didn't change the fabric color in a day, do you think I'm safe?
Any other chemicals? I read one suggestion to rub a lemon with salt onto the
spot. I'd need an orchard of lemons to do the area .

Thanks for your ideas. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem.
