Good time for me to get on deck and scrub down the boat.

Our first cold front is coming thru now.
Going to get down to the low 50's tonight.

Help Mildew!

Sounds "rough", Joe. :^)

CWM

Yeah...and my P-coat is in storage.

Still it's always nice to have help when scrubbing down the boat.

I've got a problem, my new sunbrella Joe Sail Pak is sprouting some
green alge.

I scrubbed and scrubbed with Tide but little green was removed.

Any suggestion on removing mildew from Sunbrella and Nylon?

Will bleach mess up sunbrella?

Do not use chlorine bleach on sunbrella. Use one of the oxygen
bleaches, like Clorox 2. Better yet, try rubbing some salt in,
moistening it enough to make a paste and let it sit for 1- minutes, then
scrub with vinegar. Rinse out with cold water. Or you can try lemon
juice but it might make a faded patch if you leave it in the sun without
rinsing it out all the way. Did you let the Tide sit on it for awhile so
it had a chance to work?

Yes, bleach will seriously mess up sunbrella. First thing to try is the "enzyme"
stuff they sell in spray bottles in the pet supply aisle. You'll find it usefull
for lots of other stains and smells around the boat, too. If that doesn't do it,
the next thing would be a trigger spray bottle of the stuff they sell in the
household cleaners aisle for mildew in showers.

CWM

Read the labels, though, becasue some of those have hydrochloric acid in
them and will eat through material.

Heh...I talked to my mom up in West Michigan this afternoon...they're
getting 2 feet of snow tonight and the leaves are still on the trees...
She preferred that I not tell her it was over 70 here today.

Do you get Napi-San?

I've never seen it, but will check and see. I know we have rid-X mildew
remover.

Works well on almost anything without damage.
Try a bit on an offcut or unseen spot first.

Ahhh thats probley the Napisan Oz is talking about!

If I can not find "napisan" Ill try ridX and or the salt method Katy
spoke of.

Yeah living in MI is nuts. I visited every winter for the last 9yrs
for the SAE congress and freeze my arse off.

I like visiting Windsor, pick up some cuban cigars and visit the casino
site see ect.

Detroit is such a lovely place.

It may be renamed for you or us.
It's a powder mixed with water to sterilise babys nappies (diapers to
you). Sold in supermarkets here, this mob in Little Rock AR carries
it.

You mean Borax? That's what they use to sanitize diapers here.
