Thanks I'll give hydrogen peroxide a try.

:: I just remodeled a house which had caposporum mildew
:: (the same stuff that grows in showers) in a thin sheen
:: across some sections of walls.
::
:: I had an environmental mold inspector take a look at it
:: and give me some tips on how to remove it.
::
:: He said to use Hydrogen Peroxide. It's just as deadly to
:: the mold but not nearly so dangerous to us as bleach,
:: amonia, etc.
::
:: I bought 20 bottles and wiped down every surface in the
:: house. No dilution. It worked perfectly and didn't leave
:: a smell.
::
:: I'll bet it would work great in an express too, however
:: if I were to sleep in the boat after wiping it with HP
:: I'd research any possible ill effects since the space is
:: so enclosed.
::

:: :: Ralph,
::
:: :: We've tested the "Mr Clean" magic eraser in small
:: :: sections and it seemed to work quite well. I'll let you
:: :: know how it works when we try going through the entire
:: :: boat.
:: :: -Dan

:: :: :: In Michigan which is more humid than San Francisco
:: :: :: mildew above the V-berth and elsewhere is a problem.
:: :: :: This year thanks to a suggestion from fleet mate Jerry
:: :: :: Lohmeyer I tried lysol wipes. They worked quite well and
:: :: :: I didn't notice any toxic fumes issues, in contrast to
:: :: :: chlorox and water which nearly asphyxiated me several
:: :: :: years ago. Anybody else have any successful ideas for
:: :: :: dealing with or preventing mildew?
