I know this is an old one that must be here somewhere, but I cannot find it.

Best products for mold or mildew? Chlorox in what proportion?

Thanks,
 
Joe;

What are you trying to remove it from? for fiberglass we use Chlorox diluted at 4 to 1.

For biminis, side curtins etc we use Chlorox for colors as directed on bottle. Never had an issue.
 
Inside the cabin, on the bulkhead and some on the seats.

Thanks for any help.
 
I used a magic eraser with clorox spray cleaner on vinyl and hard surfaces. On the textured walls I used clorox spray with a bristle scrubber. Cleaned everything when done with windex to get rid of the residue.

Also used an ozone generator as prescribed by the fine folks here on BE. That helped also.

Good morning Joe. I recently had the same job. I used the same solution that I use for my lawn furniture at home.

I use a solution of Clorox and Trisodium Phosphate. Be sure to open the hatches and have good ventilation.

On the seats in the cockpit I have found nothing that will take off the stains left be past episodes of mold.
 
Try soft scrub on the vinyl. It comes in either a gel or paste. Rub it on and then quickly rinse off with fresh water. Also works great on fiberglass.

As I understand it, Clorox(bleach) only makes the mold invisible, but doesn't remove it.

The clorox kills the mold.

Arm And Hammer Mildew Stain Remover for anything but clear plastic. Available in grocery stores, 20 oz. under $2.00.
 
I have had success with Marine Spray Nine.

It's important to avoid products that can damage the surface you are trying to clean and protect. Chlorine bleach is pretty hard on cotton stitching.
