Hey Everyone,
Watched a recent episode of Travel with Geordie (he's in Vancouver BC) on YouTube and he strongly recommends Tea Tree Oil to prevent mold and mildew in his boat.
I haven't heard of this and sounds really interesting.
The specifics are:
1) His boats are wood (he sprays the wood where he tends to get growth)
2) Dilutes the mixture in a water spray bottle. Puts 30 drops of Tea Tree Oil into a spray bottle filled with water.
3) After shaking vigorously, he sprays the area with a liberal amount.
Tea Tree Essential Oil is available and is inexpensive.
Wondering if anyone else has tried this to prevent mold/mildew growth in other areas of their boat.....maybe canvas??
