Mildew and mold, which are classified as fungi, are simple microscopic organisms that can thrive anywhere in a warm, moist environment. Mildew refers to a surface fungus, usually appearing as powdery, patches of grey or white. Mold looks fuzzy or slimy and comes in various colors.

Once it appears on your marine surfaces and fabrics, it must be removed, or it can cause fabric decomposition and an unhealthy condition. It’s also unsightly! Dirt provides the food for this unwanted growth. That’s why we recommend regular fabric cleaning, and storing of items in a dry, well-ventilated area.
