I tried spraying Wet & Forget in my cabin in the fall 2 years ago and the results were great- no signs of mildew anywhere after a long winter. Before using the treatment, I would have to scrub the inside of the cabin and in some cases use diluted bleach. No more!
I tried applying W&F to the loose and fixed cushions last fall. Same results- no mildew build up on the cushions. I just finished reapplying the W&F to all the cushions and then a spray of Starbrite Vinyl guard for UV protection and the 22 year old cushions look like new!.
This may have been presented before but here it is- just in case. It works amazingly well.

I have found that putting a DampRid container in the cabin and/or head greatly reduces mildew buildup. Depending on your weather, you may need to replace the container or drain it during winter layup.
Which Wet and Forget product did you use?
 
I used the damp-rid as well in the past but it gets saturated very quickly and is then ineffective. I don't go to the boat very often in the winter so I stopped using it. I tried the packets that emit chlorine dioxide in the cockpit after it was shrink wrapped but the bottom of the hardtop was still quite covered with mildew in the spring. Now I'm done with those!
I used W&F Outdoors, diluted as recommended. Pic attached. PXL_20260615_151608256.jpg
