[FC] Musty Mildew

[Jayme B]

I think you might have pretty good luck checking out West Marine for
something to rid the smell. I used a spray for mildew that was safe for
all fabrics, and I think it may have been made by Starbrite, they should
be able to help you find the right stuff. They also carry a product
called No-Damp (or name close to that) it is a container with crystals
that draw moisture out of the area and controls odor, if a lot of water
is leaking you'll want to check the containers and pour the water out
weekly, the containers last usually 4 or so months. If there isn't a
store close to you they have a website. Good Luck!
