Boat Cleaning Products

Choose the right brush

Hardness is the key

The trick is to choose a brush which is hard enough to get rid of dirt and salt but at the same time won’t damage the the finish of your boat. To avoid bending and injuring your back, choose a scrub brush with a long handle. It will allow you to reach places without stressing your back.

Use eco-friendly products

With the environment at heart

While choosing the right product, you will want something to efficiently remove the dirt and salt. However, it’s very important to ensure the products you buy are environmentally friendly. As they will have direct contact with the sea, an extra step of choosing eco-friendly products should always be kept in mind. Nowadays, environmentally friendly cleaning products can be as efficient as the standard ones.

Invest in wax

Keep your boat protected & shinny

There is no need to use wax everytime you clean your boat, but it’s good to use it at least twice during the season.
Good quality wax will keep the hull shinny and protect it against debris and grime. Use wax specially produced for boats as it’s designed to protect the surface from UV rays and withstand water.

Pay attention to carpets

Give your carpets proper attention

If your boat has carpets, you might want to clean them frequently.
Carpets have tendencies to absorb dirt and it’s much harder to remove stains from it than from the deck. Hence, apart from a vacuum cleaner, you will want to have a good-quality stain remover to get rid of all the unwanted spots.

Take care of your engine

Clean your engine at least once a year

You can decide to clean your engine by yourself or leave it for a mechanic, along with other winterization tasks. Usually, a good quality engine cleaner and a cleaning cloth should be enough to remove the accumulated dirt. However, depending on engine’s condition, you might have to invest in stronger degreaser. A good quality product should create protective layer from moisture and prolong the engine's life.
