I used bleach in detergent to clean my cockpit cushions.  Still looking brownish.  Still looking for a product that will get a white and pristine.

The active ingredient in Jomax is ortho-phenyl phenate which is an agent for

surface.  Has anyone tried just adding bleach to their detergent, car wash,
or shampoo of choice?
