Mildew needs moisture, warmth and little airflow, and a closed-up cabin in Florida has all three. Once it starts, it spreads across cushions, carpet, canvas and hidden corners.
Check behind cushions, inside lockers, under mattresses and along window tracks. Those spots stay damp the longest and are easy to miss.
Open hatches or vents when it is safe, run a fan, and wipe up condensation and spills quickly. Dry towels and wet gear should never be left in the cabin.
Wipe light mildew with a boat-safe cleaner and let the area dry fully. Never mix cleaning chemicals, and follow the product label.
Repeated mildew can point to a leak or ventilation problem. Cleaning removes the symptom, so have the source checked by a marine professional.
