Pink upholstery !!!

[SgtColon]

After scrubbing my white deck upholstery a pink haze has remained over some of its surface. Ordinary cleaners will not remove it. I followed another sites advice to apply hydrogen peroxide. Felt out of my comfort zone in Boots buying a go blonde hair product. It hasn't worked, at least not in that concentration. There is a product called Pink-Away but I can't yet find a UK supplier.
Anyone got a solution or might it simply fade away when exposed to direct sunlight.

I think it is a type of mould that has permeated the material and will be impossible to remove. I had the same thing a few years ago and recovered the panels.

I found a suggestion on the interweb that Oxy 10 acne cream has been reported to remove pink stains caused by bacteria in white boat vinyl.

If it is a mould,patio magic might kill it, it kills the green stuff on vinyl with no apparent harmful effects.

Acne cream! Well spotted - sorry, I'm leaving.

Yes I read about the acne cream too but presumed it probably contained hydrogen peroxide. I'll have a closer look

Theoretically sodium hypochlorite will kill it. i.e. Bleach. But be careful. Try different concentrations in an out of the way area first.

Have you tried one of the mould and mildew sprays available?
These contain bleach, or at least the one I've used did.

No experience of this application I'm afraid
