Hello everyone,

We get mold in the boathouse every year (see attached picture). It gets on the walls and ceilings, especially in crevices. It's really a bummer.

It's not hard to remove with some scrubbing. Power washing also works, but very slowly - and you have to be very careful not to short out lights and garage door panels.

The biggest problem is the scale of the job. I worked on it for 10 hours Saturday and only got about 70%. Plus I can't get the areas above the boat bays. And constantly reaching up to the ceiling means I can't work straight through, have to take 20 second breaks every minute or so because my arms give out. It's really painful work.

There must be a better way!

Is there a way to clean this that doesn't take so much scrubbing, and that would make it easy to reach over the boat bays? Is there anything I can do to keep it from coming back?

And, ideally, do you know any services who would do this for me? After Saturday I'd much rather give the job to someone...

Thank you!
