polliwog Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 Boat was out of the garage for an afternoon and had i couple of bird poops on the vinyl cushions. . Regular soapy water didn't cut the discoloration , Any ideas, I have seen good reviews of 303 vinyl cleaner.. Any ideas would be appreciated.
fin-addict Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 If white, use a little bleach with water
fishmanjj Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 I have also used “soft scrub “ which contains bleach and allowed it to sit on the stain for a few minutes and it will remove the stain. Just be careful if it gets on any of the seams with threads....the bleach can break down the threads....rinse very thoroughly afterwards.
polliwog Posted March 14, 2020 Author Report Posted March 14, 2020 Thanks for your response, I have some 303 vinyl cleaner coming today. I worry about doing something that will damage the actual seat,so I'm being careful. Don't want to make a problem worse. I'll let you know how it works.

Lots of good uses.

polliwog Posted March 18, 2020 Author Report Posted March 18, 2020 I just want to come back to my question about cleaning vinyl from being pooped on. I tried vinegar and water followed by club soda which helped some and then I bgt 303 Surface cleaner for vinyl and other surfaces and tried it. It cleans the vinyl very well,but didn't totally remove the poop stain. The 303 was way better than other vinyl cleaners,so I'm happy to have it. The spot is now barely visible,so I just have to live with the slight discoloration I guess.
