How to Remove Mildew Stains

Our beautiful boat has some serious mold and mildew stains in the lockers, both cockpit and in the salon sofa lockers. I've gotten rid of the mold and the mildew, but the stains remain.

I've tried bleach, soft scrub, and any number of soaps, boat soaps etc.

These stains are in an area where I can rinse with a hose - so that means no acid.

What will take these stains.

Our books have gotten 5 star reviews on Amazon. Several readers have written "I never thought I would go on a circumnavigation, but when I read these books, I was right there in the cockpit with Vinni and Carsten"

Ingredients wish you will have to determine if this product will work for you. As far as removing the stains from mildew I have had great luck with this product.

Bleach takes a while to work but eventually the stains disappear if you are patient. On hard surfaces I also use a magic eraser ( which is just a fine abrasive) or FSR/Y10 (fiberglass stain remover-an oxalic acid gel -same as Barkeepers friend).
