Help! Need to remove mold stains from vinyl moonwalk?
Question:Hi! Just purchased a used Moonwalk, and it has some stains on it. Any ideas on how to remove mold stains from Vinyl? I have some Simple Green that I've read works well, going to try that today. But any other ideas? I'm afraid I might not get the stains out!

Canvas Mold and Mildew Removal
To remove mold and mildew from your canvas tent, or awning, first vacuum or brush soilded areas to remove any excess dirt. Wash the affected area with a solution of 1/2 cup Lysol to a gallon of hot water. Rinse with a solution of 1 cup lemon juice and 1 cup salt to a gallon of hot water. Allow the canvas to air dry in the sun.
You can also try applying a cleaner such as IOSSO Tent & Camping Gear Cleaner. This cleaner is made to remove tough dirt and mildew stains. Afterwards, you may want to treat the canvas with a water-repellent compound such as Canvak. Good Luck!.=)
You have to kill mold. Try a solution of one part bleach to 6 parts water. Rinse thoroughly. Dry in sun. Check mold.
Repeat if necessary. Then wash with simple green.
Make sure you dry it in the sunlight, every time.
My suggestion was going to be Simple Green, but I would use a hard bristle brush but make sure it (the brush) won't harm the moonwalk. If Simple Green isn't doing the trick (because it is a degreaser) I SWEAR by X-14! It gets the mold out of toilets and calcium build up too! Again I would go with a hard bristle brush and would drench the mold spots with the X-14 and let it sit awhile. Good Luck!!
Personally I have tried everything there is to remove mold stains and the only thing that has ever worked for me is Tilex shower cleaner. It takes mold off of any type of surface. It is specifically designed to remove mold..
Good Luck
