Cleaned the green algae off ours with a dilute solution of household bleach, worked OK, pleased with the results
 
Assuming that you have the common acrylic canvas for your covers.
Most bleach solutions will degrade the stitching ,make sure the fabric is thoroughly rinsed afterwards.Oxyclene would remove most staining except black mould with less damage to polyester thread.Vanish also can be a quick spray on solution,if the canvas is an acrylic variety dont scrub to hard on stubborn areas.
Bleach on a true canvas (non synthetic) is a surefire way to ensure that you by new covers!
Good luck,
