So in my annual search for a better product to clean the boat vinyl of the winter mildew, I've run across a new-to-me product that claims to work. It's called Vital Oxide. It's a hospital and food service grade cleaner that's not bleach based, and I've read good reviews about it, including it's use on boat seats.

From their website: "Removing mold and bacteria can involve strong chemicals that may trigger health problems, like chlorine bleach products that produce trihalomethanes (THM) and haloacetic acids (HAAS) which are linked to cancer. Now there's an ecologically sound alternative. Vital Oxide is colorless, odorless - so mild you can wash your hands in it, and will not harm hard or soft surfaces, or colorfast fabrics. Use it on shower curtains, under sinks, in basements and crawl spaces - anywhere mold and bacteria are found."

I bought a gallon, and will be trying it out next week in the annual cleanup. I'll post back with my results, for those of you that may have a use for something like this.

Too bad Peggy Hall isnt still around. She'd always advise on the best products and procedures.

I miss her!

Suddenly, with no context, you have mildew on your mind?
Strange winds blow in Illinois!

Where did he mention mildew, dickhead?
He did mention Peggy Hall. You remember; she was one of the women you
drove out of here with your nastiness.

ummmm ... it's in the subject line.

Just thought you'd want to know. :-)

She pushed the typical stinky, expensive options. I never figured out
why boaters would carry a **** soup in a tank aboard their boat.
Stinky hoses and tanks taking space, requiring maintenance and pump
outs.
A composting toilet is the obvious solution.
She gave them short shrift.
Of course with a composting toilet you have no woes to talk about.
