mold removal

[seapuppy]

this fall/winter has been damp..but not overly incredibly wet as in last yr....so...the mold wasn't bad on the inside of the canvas....up until this last week....went to the boat to do my normal checks and low and behold the mold in the canvas had easily grown to epic proportions....so..brought a bag of oxyclean detergent and went to work on the mold.....

since my top is black...I didn't want to use any bleaching chemicals...on my other boat it was easy with the tan top.....little bleach and a soapy mix in a spray bottle and a brush....

so...the oxyclean worked extremely well.....even got one of the gunwhales on the side of the boat all cleaned off extremely easily......brush on.....let sit for about 30 seconds and brush off..rinse.....must say...I'm surprised...I thought I was gonna have to get a whip and chair to go into the cockpit...that stuff was snapping and barking when I got to the boat.....I'm amazed at how fast it grew this past week.....
