Over the years I've been sensitive to the cautions of cleaning vinyl with
strong cleansers, based on reports that they tend to dry the vinyl out.
However, I have, on occasion, used cleaners not recommended for vinyl with
no apparent bad results. *I am thinking it's more a case of using them on a
regular basis that causes problems.


Ok, how about this. What about using bleech (this section is white)
but then immediately following it up with 303 protectant?


A safe solution of bleach and water - such as 5% bleach to water will
do it.

It also kind of depends on the age of the vinyl as it will become
porus over time.

I still think those leather conditioning wipes will do the trick -
they worked on my pickup after my Border Collie bled all over the
passenger seat when the vet clipped one of her toenails too close.
