Survived Tropical Storm Cindy, but now the mold is taking over.-gctid814724

Hope everyone is OK, we have been on the wrong end of tropical storm Cindy here in Orange Beach, Alabama. Since Monday we had over 18" of rain dumped on us. Its been wet and super muggy, and as I discovered today all this sideways rain had soaked portion of the V-berth mattress that is now molding. With relative humidity on upper 80% nothing is drying and more rain on the way. Any recommendation dealing with damp mattress and how to remove mold/odor would be appreciated.

Pull to mattress cover off and wash it on a gentle cycle and put the cover and foam in a small room with a dehumidifier For day or two.

Buy a dehumidifier. A real one like you would use in a house.

Get one that has a drain hose attachment.

If you want a dry boat in a high humidity environment, that is the only way I know of
