We need to clean mold/mildew off of our boat. It has vinyl interior and a fiberglass outer. It is everywhere due to a cut in the tarp we did not know about! I need a strong but safe suggestion. Please help!

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.

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

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.

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