Default Cleaning the vinyl

Over the years I've been sensitive to the cautions of cleaning vinyl with
strong cleansers, based on reports that they tend to dry the vinyl out.

regular basis that causes problems.


Ok, how about this. What about using bleech (this section is white)
but then immediately following it up with 303 protectant?

A safe solution of bleach and water - such as 5% bleach to water will
do it.

It also kind of depends on the age of the vinyl as it will become
porus over time.

I still think those leather conditioning wipes will do the trick -
they worked on my pickup after my Border Collie bled all over the
passenger seat when the vet clipped one of her toenails too close.
