What's the worst thing that could leak onto your sails?

A professional remediation specialist can use one that can generate enough ozone to do it, but if you're asking about a retail ozone generator, they're just very expensive air fresheners because they don't generate enough ozone to kill the spores that generate odors. Odor returns after they're turned off. Running one continuously is a bad idea because even low levels of ozone are corrosive and highly destructive to rubber. Either would cost a lot more than a gallon of PureAyre.

No one has mentioned white vinegar. Have I been using a substandard treatment on cat pee all these years?
As far as stuff I wouldn't want to spill on my sails, plutonium might not be that bad if I also had a nuclear powered auxiliary motor to stuff it into.
Napalm seems like it would be really bad for your sail to get on it, maybe benzene not so good either.

They're also terrible for humans! I woke up one night unable to breath until I moved away from the ionizer. I'm told this is what it's like to have asthma.
I have a 19 footer that has mold growing all over the cabin. Would a consumer grade ozone generator be too weak to do anything if it's left in there for a month?
Try "Formula B" (https://sail-delmarva.blogspot.com/search?q=formula+b) I had a mildew/mold problem and spray every nook and cranny I could find with Formula B. It worked. Because the areas were large and difficult to access, I used a pump srayer. Spray it on and let it dry. It kills the mold and prevents it from returning.
I know I found that out the hard way!
They have one built into the lunchroom at work. Hence one more reason to not eat there...I ended up buying a gallon of Wet and Forget. I'll try to get out there this week to give it a try. Two Boats=Too many problems
I checked on my spinnaker last night. It's useable after sitting in Oxyclean for a week. 85% reduction in smell. I'm going to order some PureAyre today. Can this stuff be poured into a bucket of water to soak or do I need to hang the sail, spray it and wait for it to dry?
I'd be inclined to use it full strength on the sail and then let it dry. It won't take long to dry.
I'll order a spray bottle of the stuff as it would take many gallons to soak it. Thanks for everyone's advice!
