Barkeeper's Friend worked very well on my solid vinyl tramp and hulls. The active ingredient is oxalic acid (see:OxiClean infomercials). It is supposedly environmentally friendly but nevertheless you will want to wear gloves. |

It is supposedly environmentally friendly but nevertheless you will want to wear gloves. I can confirm this. BKF works extremely well on hulls and I have had success with vinyl tramps. I've never tried it on a mesh tramp though. |

I just use car was soap and a soft bristle brush on my mesh trampolines. It does a good job and probably not as harsh as oxalic acid. I've had good results with oxalic acid on white hulls. |

I had been storing it with my old tramp on top and a Tarp over all of it. Where my boat is parked in the boat yard it is near a bunch of Pine Trees, I was worried about limbs falling and going through the tramp.... Thinking this was the cause, have since stopped placing the old tramp over the new now hoping that will help......... |

Bleach is a sure way to kill mold... You can use a light solution - 1/4 cup bleach to 3/4 water. If its not quite doing the trick, make it a 50/50 mix. Just be sure to thoroughly rinse afterward. Have a Hobie Day! Sent from Tapatalk |

I actually tried that, I bought a new Pressure washer, Everytime I borrow my dads, he always comes up with a project and needs it back, so, I picked up one a few weeks ago and went out to do some cleaning on the boat. Did not really help much, but I was afraid to get to aggressive. |

Clorox at around a 10-15:1 mix got most of it. |
