Re: Mold & Mildew cleaner
So, I went to West Marine and spoke with the sales guy. He leads me to the cleaning isle and points out a product called, "Roll Off". He says he cleans his Bertram with it and literally just sprays it on and after three minutes, many times only needs to wash it off (ie. no scrubbing).
I purchase it, I think about 15.99 for the spray bottle. Look at the company that sells it, Bell Chemicals, inc., a local company here in south Florida.
I rush home, and start using it. I found it works VERY well. Maybe the mold and dirt don't exactly "Roll Off" but that could be due to it being an inflatable with mini nooks and cranny's in the material. Though on the transom the dirt and grime did indeed roll off. Now on the tubes I used a mild scrub pad to facilitate the cleaning after allowing it to "soak" for about 2 minutes. I found that if you use it straight with no water in the beginning it works best. I only used fresh-water for cleanup with a boat soap cleaning in the end.
For those of you that were in the Military, do you recall the GP cleaner that was ordered from the GSA catalog. This has the EXACT distinct smell and feel to it as GP...hmmmmm. Patent infringement? Chemicals listed for the formula are REALLY close too. They state it's bio-degradable.
