Question Inteior Vinyl Surface Mildew Remover

I did a search and came up with the following products. In your opinion what would be the best to clean the mildew in the pictures below and keep it from coming back? Note there is no water intrusion present, just mildewy from sitting over 1.5 yrs. in a high humidity environment and closed up.

Spray Nine (Marine)
Yacht Fresh
Awesome Orange w/Green Scotch Bright Pad
Roll Off
Vinyl Sauce
Gogo Orange Pumace
X-14

DON'T use scotchbright pad it scars the vinyl.
I found "StarBright Marine Mildew Remover" to be the best. Also at the Dollar store Amazing works perty good for a buck.

Be careful using bleach around any stitching, it will erode the thread and you will end up with separated seams.

A guy I know that makes vinyl interiors (good ones), told me to use Tilex. I used it with Mr clean magic erasers and it cleaned up dirt and mildew beautifully. I was worried about the tilex, but it doesn't seem to have done any harm that I can tell.

Magic erasers are bad I am guilty once or twice to get a good cleaning but not a good practice for sure regularly

Good info. unfortunately I won't be able to remove and place in the sun as they are interior parts and will stay in place during and after cleaning.
