Removing Mold off a White Saddle
I came across a nice Cionlli white saddle when I volunteered to repair donated bikes at my church. It was in the trash bin because, although there were no tears, the saddle had a considerable amount of black pock marks due to mold. The fabric is a rubber/plastic not leather. I tried cleaning it with Clorox cleaner with bleach, but it didn't even make a dent in the marks, and that stuff routinely took mold off our outdoor furniture. Does anyone have anything they've used to effectively remove mold and restore the original color?
Thanks
Thanks

I guarantee my wife would disapprove of my spending too much time on a moldy saddle.

Bleach White and a scrub brush. Works good on moldy boat interior.

Thanks for the tips. I'll start with the erasor only because I have one. Then try the other products.
