Question for Peggy Hall
Prevention and cure are two different issues, Dave...Casey recommends
Lysol to prevent mildew, not cure it. So while Lysol MAY prevent mildew, you're faced with curing an existing problem, which narrows down your choices to only two--'cuz you not only want to kill off the mildew spores, you also want to get rid of the odor. Some people have excellent results with Febreze...others find it necessary to continually re-treat with it. I've yet to hear from anyone who needed to repeat the "K.O. and sunshine" cure. And, it's what I used on my own boat. So pick the one you like best. If they were my cushions, I'd start with the non-chemical bacteria treatment and use chemicals only if that didn't work...'cuz if you start with a chemical, and it doesn't work, the chemical could prevent the bacteria from working.
