30 Seconds

[YWAIT]

I e-mailed 30 seconds with a link to the "mold and midew page here, and recieved a e-mail back from James Collier with some info. 30 seconds was invented in the NW by his father in-law. It has been made in Oregon for almost 30 years. His father in-law is also a boater, who has a slip at Pleasant Harbor. It is sold in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia using the patriotic, red white and blue label everywhere. He also wrote, while using the product on sails or boat covers, they recomend thoroughly rinsing the stitching, to avoid any deterioration. Once it is rinsed off, or dry, it becomes inactive. It also kills the spores which cause re-growth. Just a little info, I thought some might find interesting. :argh ~Gary~

Well... I'll tell ya. I love the stuff for cleaning the house... but there's NO WAY I'd ever recommend it on vinyl tops or upholstery.

If you read the label, there are only two active ingredients: 1. Chlorine Bleach and 2. TSP.

I have a polo shirt I was wearing that was dark green when I started, and literally seconds after the first drops hit the fabric... it went tie-dyed orange and white.

It's great stuff... but I suspect if you used it on stitching... you'll be looking for a new top next year. It is neat stuff though. I don't know what their secret is (I suspect their sodium hypochloride is much stronger than household bleach) but the stuff works amazingly well. Thanks for the tip on it.
