Im sure this has been covered...
With all the rain this year my new enclosure has small amounts of mildew on the zipper fabric.
What can be used to clean this without damaging the threading?
 
Try using 3% hydrogen peroxide on the mildew. Then scrub with a paste of equal parts borax & lemon juice and then rinse.
 
Will any of that strip the wax of the gel?
 
I would assume the borax and lemon juice might. But you put it on as a paste so it doesn't spread around much.
 
I boat this gel in a container. ! All u have to do is leave the lid off when ur not on the boat and the canvas is on ! Week after week the mildew disappeared ! I'll get the name of the stuff . I was shocked that it really worked . My canvas was a mess

Lysol Mildew remover with bleach is the "BEST" !
 
Mike , Don was messing around . Google Kanberra ! We had really bad mildew ! After a week I saw a difference ! A month later it's all gone . No cleaning on my part . It's all natural and odorless !

Found it. Looks like it can be used in cabin too. Wonder if it's good instead of damp rid. What size you use for your cockpit?
 
Also Google Gelair. And you can buy tea tree oil and make your own dispenser out of a sponge and a Tupperware container with holes in it.
