Spot Clean Your Boat This Summer with These Tips

Change the Way You Clean and Wax Your Boat with These Tips

Keep your boat free of blemishes between deep cleanings with the help of an eraser sponge and shammy cloth.

Remove Dirt, Grime, Water Scum with an Eraser Sponge

Use the Super S Detail Melamine Foam Eraser Sponge to remove dirt, grease and grime from vinyl seats and plastic consoles, remove waterline scum from the hull, and remove squashed bugs from windows and glass.  It’s ideal for almost all surfaces of your boat, jet skit or personal water craft. It cleans using only water, so it’s great for quick spot cleaning and touch ups.

The Super S is a high-quality cleaning sponge that is made from the same raw material as the Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser®. The difference between the two products is in the details. The Super S Eraser Sponge is much larger than your average melamine sponge, allowing you to cover more surface area of your boat in less time. Plus, its polyurethane middle allows you to use both surfaces of the sponge.

Before using this sponge, or any cleaning product, on your yacht or boat, always test the product on a small area of the surface you plan to clean. Check for any dulling or damage before applying it to the entire surface.

Soak Up Excess Water with a Shammy

Keep your boat safe and dry with a super-absorbent shammy towel. Use a large or small shammy 3 pack to soak up excess water or to dry your boat after washing.

These two cleaning products, will help you enjoy that brand new boat look for years to come.

Cleaning Your Boat When Dry Docking

Eraser sponge products for cleaning boat

Dry docking your boat is always a better option than leaving it  in the water for an extended period of time.  Dry docking ensures boats will receive fewer knocks and scrapes than a slip-off mooring system. This is due in part to not dealing with changing tides and water levels. Dry docking also ensures you can keep it as clean as possible by allowing you to reach every inch of the hull for cleaning and prevents any nasty grime from the water accumulating on it.

Cleaning Supplies for Boats and Marine Vehicles

Once a boat is out of the water, use a good non-scratch scrub sponge to clean the hull. Our monster scrubby sponges can clean any area of a boat, or other water craft, including the hull, floors, vinyl seating and more.  Use it with your chosen detergent for excellent results.

A microfiber towel is a great choice for drying up water after washing to prevent hard water stains and streaks. Microfiber towels are safe for most surfaces and are absorbent. However, if you want a truly absorbent cloth, then the Chamois Cloth should be your choice.

The Super S Detail Melamine Foam Eraser Sponge is one of the best options for cleaning your boat’s exterior. Use this boat scuff eraser for removing water line scum, and dark scuff marks from  inside and outside the boat. The ergonomic design makes it easier to grip and hold in your hand and the size allows you to cover more surface area in less time. The polyurethane middle  allows you to use both surfaces of the sponge allowing for greater value.

The Benefits of Cleaning Your Boat After Taking It Out on the Water

A good time to clean and inspect your boat for damage is when it is out of the water and you have access to all areas of the boat. Inspect the outer hull, condition of the gel coat and propeller.

In addition to cleaning, add protective layers than help keep your boat clean like waxes and protective UV coating for vinyl seats.  Be sure everything is properly dried to prevent hard-water stains, mold, mildew and rot.
