Is there a simple treatment for mildew on an ADCO cover that has been in place for 2 years under snow, ice and high winds? Only issue, some mildew.

Thank you for your question. We called ADCO at 1-800-541-ADCO to get the answer to your question. The manufacturer recommends cleaning the cover with a solution of one gallon water and 1/4 cup bleach. Use a spray bottle to apply, and allow it to sit for a few minutes, then immediately rinse. This should kill the mold. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to help you! Thank you Jessica with Covers Direct

We are in Connecticut. So far so good. I usually put something over the cover to keep the snow out. The cold doesn't affect it. Sorry you're having problems.

I haven't had this liner up very long, so no mildew yet. But with other liners I've always had the best luck using Clorox clean up spray on them. Just spray it on, let it sit a few minutes, then rinse off. If there is a lot of mildew you might need to spray it several times and leave on a little longer. Hope this helps.

Yes. I contacted customer support about this specifically. They confirmed it is fine. Mine has been outside for 18 months and a very harsh winter and looks the same as when I bought it.

I let the wet and forget work on the deck for about 3 weeks. I then wet the deck and used a scrub brush on a pole. the mildew came off easily. I am going to spray the deck again with wet & forget and leave it to the weather.

I used this cover for two years as a garage replacement. During those winters, it got snowed on quite frequently; during the summers it was quite sunny. At the end of that time, the cover was definitely starting to show some (a few rips on the bottom silver part), but I would expect it could have been useful for at least another 2-3 years.

I'm so very sorry although in the beginning I loved it however, it mildewed terribly in a very short time (although I have aircondition in my apartment) and I had to throw it out. I'm sure a great deal of why it mildewed could simply be because I live in Florida. Sorry!

I have never had problems cleaning this unit and definitely no mildew. We use our ice maker very often. We LOVE it!!

Havent had it for a yr yet. But looks fine for over 6 months. If u soak it in water for too long, it will look frosty. It appears to be holding up fine. I sprayed it to cover 2 feet from the edge of the hood, bumper, and side mirrors. I will remove it before applying a new application

I should have brought it in to the gardening shed...but forgot. We live in mid-Michigan and had a very bitter winter with a lot of snow. I left it out and no problems - have already begun using again, now that we've had an unusually warm early Spring. It still looks great! No signs of damage. I don't plan on pushing our luck next year.

We had spots appear once after a hard rain but within the next couple of days they disappeared. Since then we have coated the top with a clear coat finish and have gotten a cover; just in case the next time it didn't go away.

I have had mine for one year now. I brought it under the eaves for the winter and it was fine. I think too many years in the snow (especially like we had in the north east this year) would do a number, so I would have at least put a cover over it. Note that stink bugs can get in it easily so if you bring it inside you will have to clean it out.

I actually talked to the company, they said once a year is sufficient. Preferably applied in spring, but not required then. Just do not apply it during possible freezing temps or a day of heavy rain.

I've had it 6 months. It's been to countless locker rooms and stored in a plastic bag in a tote during transport. Hasn't accumulated mold or mildew at all. If it did, which I don't think it will, it would probably wipe right off. I'd use a little cleaning vinegar if it's stuck on. Hope this helps!

I used protective spray on mine before I took it outside and it's been outdoors all winter. I didn't cover it or anything and still looks great!!

I have used to cover my farm tractor and haven't seen any mildew. I don't know what it is treated with but I like the tarp.
