I have a little mold on my seats. What product should I use to treat it?

Its a 2020 22SXDepends on what year boat and type of marine fabric/vinyl you have. Add year (and if you know it) fabric, and that can help lead to accurate responses. For instance, the newer Simtex fabric (began geting added onto models in 2016 & 2017) has more cleaning restrictions than older marine vinyl.

Click link above to see updated Simtex cleaning instructions. Simtex is your seat fabric.
Do all Benningtons built after 2017 have Simtex fabric, or is that an upgrade?Depends on what year boat and type of marine fabric/vinyl you have.

My understanding is all Bennington fabric 2018 and newer is Simtex. 2016 it was the upgrade fabric on nicer model lines G and up. In 2017 (my boat’s year) it was the main fabric. You certainly got it on the S-Premium boats and up. However, I am not sure if the baseline S series models in 2017 still had the older traditional marine fabric or the newer Simtex by that point.Do all Benningtons built after 2017 have Simtex fabric, or is that an upgrade?

Thanks to both of you. Mine is a 2019, SX, so basic model. I assumed it was just standard vinyl so glad I asked.Here is the thread from Bennington when it was first introduced .( BennTexx / Simtex )

Dry out completely before covering. Run a fan, on a timer, or all winter if you wish. Airflow really helps.What do any of you suggest to keep mold from setting in during indoor winter layup. Issue I had with previous boats was mostly on the vertical surfaces that pressed against one and other when closed up.
Interesting that you have that problem with indoor storage. Personally, I open everything up so most of my cushions aren’t touching each other. Maybe that would help in your particular situation.What do any of you suggest to keep mold from setting in during indoor winter layup.
