I believe this product is more of a degreaser than a product for mold or mildew. If the boat is not too large to turn over, you can use clorox water to kill the problem. Maybe use a push broom to scrub along the bottom, rinse, and then invert the boat to dry. If too large and heavy, use a cloth and wipe the build-up, or try Kilz paint product .

Well, I could say only yes and no having used it only on chairs. It has an oily feel to it and sinks into the unfinished wood pretty fast but I tend to use too much sometimes and really have to rub it in. If the floors have a finish on them, it may just sit on the surface and be a slick mess. But it's for teak and I'm not sure the condition of your floors so it could work. It will sink in unless the finish is hard or new. It's for boat decks but they get dry and the oils will sink in faster. I looked on the bottle and it didn't say anything specific on floors. Only wood in general.

I wouldn't use it on wood. Water makes wood swell and combine that with heat, bad idea. You can damp mop wood and sealed floors, this unit puts out a lot of water. Hope this helps.

It worked well for me on mildew in the paint on a groove in a exterior medal door. A shadow of the stain is still there. For your application, I'd recommend getting one bottle to try. Obviously you have a roof leak. Don't waste you money cleaning mold from roof decking that may have to be replaced when the leak location is found. I just checked it on the mildewed exterior painted wood siding. Worked real well.

Yes !!! Cleans mildew from my vinyl boat seats that other cleaners won't even touch !!! Also helps prevent mildew from returning as quickly. No need to deal with chlorine bleach and those awful fumes.

New wood will soak up a lot of oil before it beads up water. I oil my teak table fairly often to make sure the wood shines and is protected. We also use this product on the teak on our boat. After a summer's use the teak is always dry again, if not put on several times during boating season. I just keep applying the oil every few days until water beads don't soak into the wood.

I use it on the vinyl seats in our boat and it works fine.I also use it on rubber molding to bring back the shine and "newness".The product works on a variety of surfaces.

This product is not the best choice due to the humidity and water that will be present in that area. You would be better off using a waterproof varnish (found at a hardware store) or the Liquitex Soluvar Varnish.

I would't because it seemed to be mostly Clorox. I have used it for removing mildew from doors etc. on my house.I bought it to use on my boat seats but it smelled so strong of Clorox that if I used it, it would cause the thread to disintegrate.

A STEAM CLEANER WILL WORK GREAT ON SEALED HARDWOOD FLOORS BUT I WOULDN'T USE IT IN YOUR CASE SINCE THE STEAM COULD WARP THE WOOD WHERE IT IS NO LONGER SEALED. YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE A STEAMER ON SEALED HARDWOOD SINCE SOME MODELS CAN PRODUCE A WET STEAM WHICH WILL TAKE TOO LONG TO EVAPORATE. ALSO, BE SURE TO USE DISTILLED WATER ON THE HARDWOOD FLOORS SO YOU WON'T LEAVE WHITE MINERAL STREAKS ON THE FLOORS.

You can use it on any "sealed" floor, which includes laminate, wood, tile, linoleum etc. If you had a raw wood (say bamboo) with no resin on it over time the water and heat may damage it. But almost every floor now is sealed so it should be no problem. All laminates are sealed, but if you are worried try it in a corner or closet first...

The wood is well-sealed. That said, I wouldn't leave anything wet on it for long because I think you'd get water rings.

I use it on my wooden deck every time and I've not had a problem. It doesn't even discolor it. Get a sheet of cement backer-board (used under floor tiling) to put underneath if you're worried.

I use 10% bleach solution to clean mold off my boat cover, and I assume it would easily work here as well. Note that you should rinse it thoroughly after cleaning - that way it doesn't further erode the material. Good luck!

We have a boat in florida and use a strong bleach and water mix in a spray bottle to clean the mildew off of the boat. I use spray nine as a pre spray for stains on clothing to be washed and it is fantastic. Hope this helps

Shiella, You could lightly sand and and then coat with a an exterior urethane or spar varnish. These are the coatings used by people with boats. Depending on where you live, you may have to do this every couple years. Cover the table canvas or plastic when not in use e.g winter. Good LuckJasper

I used it on wood outside steps and it worked fine and looks good it helped to keep rainwater from seeping into the wood. Of course the steps are not continuously exposed to water as a boat would be, but for my purpose it worked fine.
