Is using a brush to scrub vinyl bad for it?

Something like this is what i'm talking about.

That is what I use. Doesn't seem to hurt the vinyl at all...

We use those style brushes when cleaning the bow and stern covers for our boat a the time. We cover the boat even when it's under the canopy to insure the is minimal dirt on the interior.

Alright thanks I'll continue using them. It just seemed like after using them the vinyl wouldn't stay as clean as before I started using them. Maybe thats because they work so well to clean them?

I've heard about using the Mr Clean Magic Eraser's also, on vinyl.

I've been using magic erasers for a couple of seasons now, they work amazing. They make my white vinyl WHITE. The only thing I've noticed is that they tend to wear out pretty easily.

I wouldn't use them on my current boat. You can do it if you are desperate but they are never the same again. Products like Jiff and those brushes work great together to clean a nasty seat but you might as well be sanding them with sand paper.

yup on both - those erasers will dull some color if you scrub too hard.

I use the brush for the threads and the eraser for the hard to get off spots..
