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.
