Xanigo Marine Defender Atomizer - Corded

Why you'll want it

• Keep mold off the soft stuff. Fill it with the maker's Mold & Mildew Preventer and treat vinyl seats, canvas, ropes, carpet and life jackets. One application protects against mold and mildew for up to 90 days.
• Plug in and keep going. A cord means no battery to run down halfway through. The 16 ft cord gives you room to move, and the nozzle adjusts to the spot in front of you.
• Patio furniture, too. The maker lists patio furniture among the surfaces the preventer can treat. The same sprayer that helps protect the boat can help protect the outdoor set at home.
• Treat it before winter storage. A boat closed up for the winter holds moisture. Mist the seats, canvas and compartments before you put it away, and let the preventer work while the boat rests.

What it is

The Xanigo Marine Defender Atomizer is a high-powered, corded sprayer. The record describes it as an atomizer sprayer that delivers a fine, consistent mist, so the preventer goes on thin and even. It is designed for boat detailers, and the record says boat owners can buy it too.

How to use it

1. Start with a clean, dry surface.
2. Fill the sprayer with Mold & Mildew Preventer and plug it in.
3. Mist the seats, canvas, ropes, carpet or other damp areas evenly.
4. Let the treated area dry on its own.
5. After each use, rinse the nozzle and reservoir, then store the sprayer somewhere dry.

What else the job needs

The sprayer needs the maker's mold and mildew preventer to fill it. If mold is already growing, start with a mold and mildew stain remover, a scrub brush, a waterless wash and a few microfiber cloths.
