Save yourself a LOT of time, trouble and money and just use a 10% bleach solution. I have a freind who paid $14 for a pint of eco-freindly, bio-degradable mold and mildew remover. When he got it and read the ingredients it is nothing more than BLEACH WATER. All you have to do is make sure you rinse well. Degrading the vinyl itself is a bigger danger than 'destroying the threads'. Be sure to use a good cleaner afterwards on all the vinyl, Fantastik is recomended by several manufacuters. Then a good protectorant with UV protection. Stay away from AmorAll and the like. Get 303 vinyl protector.

For those that think the bleach water will 'destroy' the threads I have a question. When you do laundry with bleach, does the laundry disentegrate? I am just asking because mine doesn't. That is why I can't understand everyone's fear of using bleach to kill the mold and mildew on boats.
