Mold and Mildew Eliminator

In a marine environment, mold and mildew are inevitable.

Everyone hates the smell of mold and mildew, but in a marine environment, they're inevitable. Don't let mold and mildew reside on your boat, because the stench will only worsen after wintertime is over. To eliminate these foul-smelling troublemakers, use Yacht Brite's Moldaway ($11.99, www.yachtbrite.com). Ideal for use on any surface prone to mold growth, Moldaway is an enzyme-based, oxygenating, multipurpose powder that actually kills the mold spores. Simply mix two scoops with a quart of warm water, and pour the non-toxic, biodegradable solution on the affected areas. After a quick wipe-down with a brush or cloth, the area will be clean, free of mold and mildew, and fresh smelling.
