What this video covers

Hitomi and her husband live aboard a yacht in Brazil with their dog, Maru, and manage high humidity and mould growth through specific cleaning and storage techniques. To neutralise odours in fabrics, Hitomi sprays a mixture of one part apple cider vinegar to two parts water before air-drying.1:56 She prevents mould on interior walls and curtains by wiping surfaces with a vinegar spray, which also serves as a disinfectant.1:56 For floor maintenance, she uses a solution of 200ml of water mixed with one teaspoon of baking soda to remove stickiness.2:39 Gas stove surfaces and grates are cleaned with the same baking soda solution to remove oil and salt, followed by a water wipe-down to prevent rust.3:06 To conserve fresh water, the crew rinses laundry in seawater before performing a final rinse with one cup of fresh water to dilute residual salt.3:06 Items stored in lockers, particularly the large cockpit storage area, are kept in sealed bags to prevent mould, while infrequently worn clothing is stored in vacuum-sealed bags containing desiccant or baking soda.4:08
