Read on to learn how to conquer mildew with Wet & Forget Outdoor.
What is Mildew?
“Mold” and “mildew” are everyday names we use for the growth of fungus on surfaces. Mildew is most often black but can also be green, white, gray, or rust-colored.
It can be slimy or fuzzy, and has an unpleasant musty smell. Mildew loves to grow on fabrics such as hammocks, awnings, patio furniture, boat cushions or outdoor carpeting.
Mold and mildew can also grow on your driveway, your deck, your RV or even on the side of your home!
All mildew needs in order to grow are moisture, warmth and something to eat. And mildew does more than just look ugly and smell bad–according to the Iowa State University Extension’s Answer Line, mildew can use your cushions and awnings as its food, eating away at the fibers and causing damage.
Using bleach for removing mildew causes more damage to the fibers, resulting in discoloration, fraying, and even holes. Not only can bleach damage many surfaces, it often requires many repeat treatments because it allows mildew to grow right back.
In most cases, one treatment with Wet & Forget Outdoor will keep mildew at bay for a year or more!
