removing stains/mildew from garden bench white cushion

I tried first bleach which didn't work, tried borax and vinegar, then hosed it off-not successful. It is now draped over my fence to dry. Will the sun set the stain in? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. I would like to dye it, but it wouldn't look good with the stains.

Thanks,
Karen

What fabric is the cushion cover made of? Can the cover be removed from the cushion?

I agree on the fabric question... An art restorer friend of mine recommended a one-to-one combo of rubbing alcohol and water for some mildewed canvas I have... But if you've already used bleach and that didn't work, I don't know if the alcohol will do much better...
