mildew

[barbco228]

I am looking for suggestions on how to remove mildew from the zipper on our bridge enclosure. We don't have a canvas enclosure, and I am embarrassed to say that I don't know what it is made of except to say that it was purchased at Standish boatyard and has the usual enclosure that they use for our 2006 Albin. I am afraid of damaging the enclosure with chemicals. I've tried steam, 3M mildew remover, and have had poor results. I don't have a lot of mildew, but the zipper is white and shows everything. Any suggestions? I'm sure someone out there near Tiverton RI knows what my enclosure is made of......

For mildew I first go with full strength white vinegar......
If that doesn't do it...I move on (carefully) with bleach products

Just an old idea, Have you tried white vinegar? It may work....

Try Tilex Root. It works great. I even use it to clean fenders and patio furniture.
