[Rhodes22-list] Best Stuff to clean your boat

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Caesar,
 
Go to your local Dollar General store and buy some "Mean Green" mold and  
mildew destroyer. I buy the gallons so I can put it in a garden sprayer.  
Otherwise you wear your fingers out on pumping the bottle. Spray, let sit for  
ten minutes (keeping it wet) and then either pressure wash or rinse with  
fresh water. If that doesn't get them clean, nothin will.
 
Rummy

I used  bleach in detergent to clean my cockpit cushions.  Still looking  
brownish.  Still looking for a product that will get a white and  pristine.

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?
