Default Mildew stain remover

I have an old 311 Sr1 that has a couple standard issue mildew stains in the cuddy- most notably on the headliner. Does anyone have a super-duper solution to this problem? Thanks.

Oxy-Clean works well and doesn't cost much. Wal-Mart has it.

I've used soft scrub with bleach before. Get the stuff without the grit. You may need to condition the vinyl afterwards.

Good Old Fashioned Spray Nine. Has an antiseptic in it to kill the moild and mildew, won't harm the vinyl. Spray it on, let it soak and use a little elbow grease

I'm going with NetGain.
Use the Spray Nine. It works great, and won't hurt the vinyl. For tough mildew stains, spray it on, and scrub it with a soft bristle brush. I will usually wipe it with a clean rag and clean water.

This is a "cloth" headliner, so I don't know about the "9". I have used the Woolite brand "oxy" with some success on auto headliners- but not on old mildew.
