Kanberra (R) All Natural Wipes Product Review.

At the Seattle Boat Show last month I finally caved and purchased a group of products from Kanberra.  The sales people at the show stated they were the best thing for getting rid of mold and mildew on surfaces and were perfect for cleaning boat products.  The company's website says, "Kanberra Wipes® are infused with the natural antiseptic and antifungal properties of TTO and other oils to attack bacteria and mold on contact with no chemicals. "

To test the Kanberra's effectiveness our Bottomsider Cushions have been left out all winter and grew mold and mildew under them.

The challenger in terms of the effectiveness was good old Mr. Clean Magic Easer Pads.

A both products were used on separate sections of the back of the cushions applying the same pressure, time and passes on each section.

The Kanberra product is on the left while the Mr. Clean product was on the right.  Clearly the Mr. Clean product not only cleaned better it cleaned deeper.  The stains on the upper side of the Mr. Clean area were teak oil that had soaked into the cushion.

Mr. Clean Magic Easer was then used to clean the remaining sections and performed very well at cleaning and removing the mold and mildew.

I was disappointed that I was suckered in on spending so much on the Kanberra products only to find their effectiveness was far less then what I got out of a common everyday household item.
