Mildew suppression/prevention

So we sail on eastern lake Ontario where it has been a very wet/humid summer. We were on our boat last weekend after a couple of weeks away and found a faint line of mildew where a stowed sail was touching the hull. We unloaded the boat of all sails/pfd's etc. and did a thorough inspection. Found what I would call some minor mildew. We plan to do a thorough scrubbing of the boat this weekend with a mild bleach solution. Just wondering if anyone has any specific advice for products that stink less than bleach that work for suppressing mildew.
