Removing Mold and Mildew From Boat?

Get a spray bottle and put a bleach mixture in it.

Mold can usually be killed with a mixture of bleach and water. One part bleach to 3 parts water. If needed a stronger solution up the bleach and reduce the water. Spray a small amount on the mold to see if the mold is killed. Be aware bleach on metal such as copper and brass can be etched into the metal and will discolor it. Rinse with water as soon as the mold is dead.

Bleach works but so does a product called Oxyclean. We buy it at Costco.

There is a great environmentally safe cleaner that removes mold and mildew from wood, plastic, composite, cloth, vinyl, aluminum, brick and more. You can see info at www.reliablerep.com

Never oil vinyls because oil will make the vinyl hard. For proper cleaning, sprinkle baking soda or vinegar on rough damp cloth. then, wash with a very mild dish washing soap.

Mildew dry in the sun after moistening with lemon juice and salt. Treat by adding 1/2 cup of liquid lysol to the wash water. On leather, sponge with equal amounts of water and rubbing alcohol.

Do not put clorine bleach on a fiberglass boat! It will promote oxidation and dull the finish in a hurry! There are mildew removal products that are safe for humans and the environment and are available at the boat yard or West Marine or Overtons for just a few bucks. The products will remove the stain and will protect the finish on the vinyl and the gelcoat of the boat.

What worked for me was using Clorox SoftScrub. I rubbed it on with rubber gloved hands and let it sit a few minutes, then rinsed off with hose, worked quite well.
