Killing mold in non-skid
 

What is the best way to get rid of the black mold that seems to thrive in my non-skid over the winter. It is tough to get rid of, but I remenber hearing a really good home remedy - anyone ?

Bleach and warm water. You can use a garden spayer, just rinse/flush thoroughly. When pressure washing houses I mix in a generous amount of liquid dish detergent. It helps hold/stick to vertical sufaces long enough to eat. Will not cause problems in the bilge, nor the lawn/shrubbrey/driveway. Very easy. Vezo, Part II.

I second the bleach although I used a 3M deck cleaner this year that I bought at Job Lot cause it was cheap, and it worked quite well. The old scrub brush can't hurt either.

I've used bleach before, but the mold is very persistent ! Every season I have to get it off again. It takes more than a casual scrub to get it off too. It loves my non skid. I think because the non skid is older ( from 1975 )and a little more porous than newer non skid and the mold can house itself there very well.
