MILDEW...
I found some isolated areas [port and starboard settee / bunk area behind
the flip up back rests] that had some mildew staining. That damned black
crap in the corners on the fabric. I was disgusted!
Well I panicked and rented a 3500 psi pressure washer... stripped out the
boat ... opened the windows and went nuts! I cleaned the interior top to
bottom. The upholstery is like new now, the hand made Quebec Lace curtains
are soaking.... and the friggin' Mildew is so outta there it's like it was
never present.
I also managed to rent out the washer to 3 other folks working on their
boats and made the rental fee + $50.
The pressure wash of the interior will now be an annual task after seeing
the results. I normally machine wash all the cushions but I was stuck with
an upholstery cleaner and wet/dry vacuum for the stuff I couldn't remove
from the vessel. Not anymore..... Bwahahahahahahahahaaaa!!!!
