Stains on cover

My radians cover got mold on it from not being completly dry when stored. Ive washed it twice and dried it and used stain remover. There are still some spots that are stained but its not bad. It looks like some one took a marker and put some dots on the seat area. is this cover ok to use since its been washed and it just affects the looks of it or is it a health issue and shouldnt be used?

I'm curious to know this too, as we left a stroller out on our front porch in the rain, and i haven't been able to get rid of the mold spots either.

If it's all synthetic fabric I've had good luck with bleach in the washer. I had that happen with a maclaren stroller cover and washing it with bleach took all the little spots out. The fabric stayed bright. It's sort of a leap of faith, though :)

Its the pink soft ine with flowers...im scared to do to much since I cant buy a new cover for this seat since its a sunshine kids one and my other is pretty faded already...the spots arnt awful so if this just affects its looks ill just use as is. I used oxi clean as the stain remover.

Get a bucket. Fill with hot water. Add plenty of powdered oxy clean. Stir to dissolve. Add the cover. I put something heavy on it to keep the entire cover under water. Sit overnight. Next day dump out and it should be good as new and then wash. If not, repeat. Worked for even the worst mildew and grease stains for me.
