FAQ's
Q - Will 1 Bottle do all of my Boat Seats?
A - YES, in most cases with more left over. If you have a 20-24 foot boat, 1 bottle is usually plenty. If you have a large boat, 25ft+, you may need 2. For our Vinyl Protectant you should get 2-3 applications out of 1 bottle on a 20-24 foot boat.
Q - Can your mildew stain remover be used on RV Awnings, Bimini Tops, Pop-up Campers, Home Gutters or Vinyl Siding?
A - To address the wide range of uses - In most cases, yes. These are all perfect applications to pour Seat Reviver into a 1-2L garden pump sprayer with a plastic tip. (Do not use sprayers with a brass tip). Seat Reviver thins during spraying and turns back into a light gel after it hits the surface! Gel greatly increases the dwell time by reducing evaporation, increasing effectiveness, and letting the product work longer. However, always test in a small area before using.
Q - Should I add a Protectant After using your Mildew Stain Remover?
A - Yes, it's highly recommended because restoring the protective layer on your vinyl will prevent recurring Mildew Stains and UV Damage, which is most responsible for yellowing, fading and cracking. Our Vinyl Protectant +UV Shield has been proven to absorb UV Rays. You can also find this on our website. It also works on plastics!
Q - Can your mildew stain remover be used on Boat Carpets?
A- Yes. However, verify and test in a small area that is best hidden. Best applied for this purpose by a small 1-2L garden pressure sprayer with a plastic tip (not brass). Leave for a few minutes and then pressure wash for best results. All boat carpets, if not the majority, are synthetic material and suitable for Seat Reviver.
Q - Will Seat Reviver Remove Orange Stains, Yellowing / Dry Rotted Vinyl?
A - Our Cleaning Gel is made for stains caused by Mold & Mildew which are the most common stains on boat seats and outdoor plastics/vinyl. Seat Reviver will not work for orange stains - most commonly caused by sunscreen rubbing off into the seats reacting with the surface, or yellowing caused by dry rotted vinyl (UV Damage). If your seats are dry rotted, the yellowing and brittleness can't be removed. However, some brittleness and additional yellowing can be mitigated by applying our Vinyl Protectant +UV Shield.
Q - Can I put this in a sprayer even though it's a gel?
A - YES, in fact, we work with many detailers of boats that use pressure sprayers with wands. Which is optimal for applying Seat Reviver when speed is needed. It is specifically designed to thin more under pressure coming out of a sprayer, and turns back into a light gel after it hits the surface. For 1 boat only, we recommend using it straight from the bottle. It is easier and faster to spread it vs using a traditional cleaner squirt bottle.
Q - Do I need to wear gloves? Is your Mildew Stain Remover Bleach-based?
A - Yes, gloves / PPE. It is bleach based with anti-corrosives and other ingredients forming our proprietary recipe, which is what allows our product to be safer on vinyl seats and outperform multiple leading brands, based on independent testing. Note: Read the full bottle label. Follow all directions and warnings.
Q - What is the difference between Seat Reviver Mildew Stain Remover and Household Bleach
A - Household bleach is not a good option for Vinyl Seats. The reason is that it does not contain specialized ingredients to help reduce the degradation of the vinyl seats. Household Bleach is also less stable due to faster decomposition while in contact with many mildew stained surfaces, so it works less effectively. Household bleach also lacks specialized ingredients that allow it to penetrate into the pores of the vinyl reaching deeper Mildew Stains below the surface layer. Our product aside, we advise against using Household Bleach on your Boat Seats or any vinyl seats. It's not formulated for that purpose.
