Hi all,
On a bayliner 3270,
Just went to do laundry, decided to give the bottom of the mattress we had made for the Vberth a checkup,
I do this every few weeks, and havent noticed any issues so far.
This time, though, there was a large circle of what Im assuming is mold, directly on the mattress's cover.
I have some aireflow material on the way, just for this specific reason.. kicking myself for not purchasing it sooner.
How do I go about cleaning this?
Ive taken the mattress cover off, theres some light spotting on the actual mattress itself, but for the most part the mattress itself doesnt look too bad, nothing like the cover.
I put the cover in the wash for three cycles, using borax bleach and detergent, it didnt really take away all of the mold.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
We have a large dehumidifier running in the salon, should I get another just for the vberth? I figured the main one would be enough but this has me concerned.
Buying another mattress is way out of budget at this point, Id like to be able to still use this one. I just dont want the mold coming back.
Id just like some tips for cleaning / further prevention. Anyone else sleep in the vberth? What have you done to deal with this?
Were in the bay area, west coast, so it can get a little humid in the winter but its nothing too extreme.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
