Boats at my marina tend to get a coating of gray dust from stuff that get's picked up in the wind from the parking lot.
I noticed my 2 year old tan canvas starting to look a little gray, so I decided to spend Saturday giving it a good cleaning. To my dismay, I discovered that most of the gray tint wasn't from the parking lot dust, but from mildew.
I washed it inside and out with a Sea Bowld sail and canvas cleaner that says it works on mildew. It got quite a bit off, but still left areas of mildew, even after repeated cleaning.
I've read that you can use a 'mild' bleach solution for this. I'm curious if anyone can define 'mild' in terms of a ratio of bleach to water.
