I am very new to boating and need some advice. I was forced to cover and store my boat before the carpet was dry and now (2 weeks later), I uncover it and find some mold/mildew spots all over the vinyl interior.

My questions are:
1. What can I use to clean this as the boat cleaner I bought only does an okay job of removing the majority of the spots?
2. How can I prevent this from happening again short of never getting the carpet wet, which seems impossible?

Thanks to everyone taking the time to read this and offer suggestions to this newbie!

Re: Cleaning help!

I use "Scrub Free" Stain and mildew remover. You can get it at Walmart. Spray it on, let it sit for 5 minutes and the stains are gone. Rinse well with water and you're done. Never found anything that works better...And I've tried a bunch..If you can place a small fan under the cover to circulate air, you will eliminate pretty much all the mold and mildew problems....They make solar fans if you do not store your boat near an electric hookup...
