first I'd like to say thank you and cingratulations on centralizing the green info for the yachting industry. This is great! I love the simple, kind alternatives you list for some exterior cleaning tasks. FYI, baking soda is also great for stainless steel, leaves an amazing shine and doesn't scratch. Do you know if the lemon/salt treatment would work for mildew growing in our teak decks? We have been using the boat water for wash downs and this strips the water of chlorine and other chemicals that prevented mildew from growing in the wood. We would like to continue using the boat water but need to treat the decks with something and I REALLY don't want to use chemicals. I'd appreciate any feedback. The site looks great and is easy to navigate and find information. There are a few spelling errors and typos (see home page) but nothing too glaring. Thanks again for making this information available to the yachting world.
