Anyone know how to remove rat manure stains on vinyl boat seats? My classic runabout sets in a barn while not being used and I always throw a tarp over it to keep the sun from shining in on it in the mornings as the barn faces east with a open front. It also helps keep dust off the boat. It isn't a factory cover which means loose edges for rats and mice to go in. I normally don't cover anything besides the front deck but when I covered the whole boat last time I stored it, it just made mice and rats want in. They manured on the BRAND NEW upholstered seats and its almost like the manure melted and left stains. How can I get these stains out???

I second the magic eraser, but with a caveat ... make sure you clean the seat thoroughly with warm soapy water after you use the magic eraser to get the bleach residue off the seat. Magic erasers will do a great job, but their residue will be hard on the seats and stitching. Make sure they are cleaned thoroughly AFTER eraser use!
