[Rhodes22-list] Best Stuff to clean your boat

[Tom Hogarty]

The active ingredient in Jomax is ortho-phenyl phenate which is an agent for
killing mildew.  I doubt that it plays any role in removing mildew from a
surface.  Has anyone tried just adding bleach to their detergent, car wash,
or shampoo of choice?
