Oxiclean safe on Vinyl?

[Cobalt272!]

I know there's countless threads about cleaning our vinyl and products to use or NOT use. My vinyl generally cleaned up nicely this weekend, but I'm not quite happy with the stitching. I'd like to get the stitching to be as white as the actual vinyl if possible. Has anyone used OxiClean on their vinyl? I did a search but don't see any previous thread.
From what I know Oxiclean does not have harsh chemicals, but also does a great job removing stains, making whites more white, etc. Goal is to get the stitching white again without breaking it down.

Any other recommendation are welcomed! .....thank you!

Good question. We haven't tried it yet, but it's a staple in our laundry room.

I can't speak to OxiClean, but I had great luck with a mixture of Water, White Vinegar and .5 ounce of Bleach in a spray bottle. I used a tooth brush and towel. Then conditioned afterwards. I had really good results!

Very nice improvement Bloom

Is your stitching white? On some of the newer orders the stitching is a touch darker to accent the interior.

Thank you! I got this boat last fall and the detail the dealer did was laughable. I had my work cut out for me this spring, but I'm very happy with the results now. If it ever looks the way it did again, it's because it sank! LOL

Thanks for the input. Everything I've read says don't use bleach, but maybe 1/2oz is ok.

believe bleach is to harsh for stitching

Go to YouTube and search up Drake's Detailing....the guy works magic on boats in the Florida area somewhere. He's got a video out there on detailing vinyl. He primarily uses a 1 to 3 ratio of Purple Power. He does mention for super dirty stitching that he also uses a little diluted bleach water but then does a thorough rinse with Dawn soapy water and then conditions the vinyl and stitching with 303. He also Ceramic Coats vinyl....who knew? lol.

The Water / Vinegar / Bleach mixture I mentioned earlier is definitely not my full time cleaner and don't recommend it to be. I typically use the Boat Bling line of products. I had to be more aggressive this time around to restore the boat to a condition I was happy with. The previous owners didn't keep the inside very clean.
