Keeping a boat spot-free is a constant battle, with many owners resorting to harsh, toxic chemicals and lots of elbow grease. Moldaway from Shurhold Industries is different. It's an oxygenated cleaner that's effective on a wide range of surfaces and removes stains the natural way.

Made in the USA, scientifically formulated Moldaway contains no bleach or chlorine, so it's safe to use on colored vinyl, canvas, plastic, carpeting, interior and exterior cushions, sails and wood. It removes mold, mildew, algae, dirt, blood, and food and drink stains without scrubbing.

Using Moldaway is easy. Two tsp. of the powder is mixed thoroughly into a quart of warm water and will remain effective for 10 hours. The solution is then sponged or brushed onto a cool surface. After standing damp with the mixture for 10 minutes, it's rinsed with clean water. For extremely soiled areas, it can soak longer. A 12 oz. jar costs $14.98.
