    I spray mine with a mild bleach solution and rinse it off right away

      Bleach will cause the fabric to fall apart over time. Yes it will clean the item nicely, but it can also cause the dies to run and the fabric to rot quickly. Plus it’s bad for the environment.

    Hello. I would mix dish soap with water and give it a good scrubbing.

    Vinager .. put it into a spray bottle and spray the item. Then rinse off with clean water. Let the item air dry.

    I use a product from Home Depot...Called spray and forget I believe...It kills the mildew or mold on most anything....Spray and let it sit...then rinse off...

    Also use it outside on a couple areas of the house and vinyl fence that get that algae stuff...

    30 second cleaner is another good one.
