Mold on carpet

#1 Post by cwag911 » Thu Jan 01, 2009 8:51 am

Does anyone have a good method for mold removal on carpet? It's about the size of a silver dollar and right in the center of the deck. I don't use the poles for the cover since it's under a roof but some water dripped in during a sideways rain. I'm trying to do this and not discolor the carpet. Thanks in advance.

Try going to this site http://www.concrobium.com/ click on the how to use button, when the picture of the house comes up, mouse over the sailboat and a pop up will come up. Might be just what you need.

I had some mold along the back edge of my boat once...I just went down tot he car wash and used the hot water rinse. Made sure the soap and solvent was out of the line by letting it run for a min or two but then just power washed it out with hot water. Never came back...in that spot anyhow...I noticed I had some at the ned of the season beginning on along side one of the gates where the sun doesnt get to every often. Maybe some power washing and direct sunlight for a day or two will get rid of it.

I'm in Florida and mind is not covered so I get full growth green stuff, I use jo-max-kill mold and algee and bleach usally stop it for 8 months or more.

But here in florida with all the rain even my truck and trailors with turn green if not washed regularly.

But you can get jo-max at home depot in the paint department
