washing boats for zebra mussels

Builder's Forum

In Masachusetts, to keep from spreading zebra mussels,  you are required to

wash your boats with one of the following: 1) 140 degree or hotter water, or 2)

a bleach solution, or 3) Lysol (as sold), or 4) straight vinegar.

 

I'm wondering if anyone might know the impact of these techniques on a varnished or graphite/epoxy finish? 

Thanks.

Ive used vinegar on my wood boats.  I rinse with a hose after.  No effects noticed.
