First I must stop rain-water leaks and improve ventilation - different
thread.

But for now I have some mildewed cabin upholstery. Some of the cushions are
not practically removable without destroying them(?).

Having talked to a few local experienced boaters and read some archived
rec.boats material, I'm thinking of wet vacuuming it, and then cleaning it
with a dilute vinegar solution.

I'm not so concerned if there's a little pigmentation left afterwards, as
long as it's dead. (This is a good working boat, but not a "show boat.") And
so far, odor hasn't been a big problem. I just need to stop this process
from spreading.

(Even if I can clean the uphostery, what about the cushion foam inside ...
?)

Does my plan seem sound? Thanks to all.
