Mould On Life Jackets

[FishDrought]

Hi All,

Having a big clean out of the tinny this weekend & I noticed some of the lifejackets ( just the standard big blocky PFD's) There appears to be like a dirt residue which my mate informed me might be mould.

I am just wondering is there a preferred method to cleaning lifejackets without damaging them?

Obviously, I could just spray on some mould killer but not sure if that would bleach them or breakdown the material?

Is washing with soapy water an alternative??

Thanks in advance

Mate I purposefully leave one under the floor in my bildge it's nice and dark and wet , in the hope that one of my mates will forget his inflatable on comp day and have to wear my mouldy old yellow brick , with that stinky pungent smell for the whole day !!!!

But if you really do want to clean it I did clean a couple up out of my old boat and I used BAM , it was a mould killer version, I was worried about it wrecking the material so i put it on scrubed it for about 2 mins then hosed them off , they came up really well and didn't seem to have any obvious damage .

Maybe you could just clean one up for the mrs and leave the other one in case you have a mate onboard ?
