Just wondered if any of you guys have used Simple Green to clean your boat. I've been using it for a while now on the boat, truck, porch and pretty much anything that needs cleaning. I really like the stuff. It cleans stains, shoe marks, blood and fish guts and about anything else that you need to clean off gel-coat and fiberglass As far as I can tell its not a very harsh cleaner but is gets the job done plus it smells pretty good. It works great on oil and thick grease. The stuff is strong if you use it full strengh so I generally wet down whatever I'm cleaning before I spray it on. It can be diluted down but I've yet to see it fade anything I've used it on. Any thoughts on this stuff?? :lol:

I use Simple Green some.

But I found a product at Lowe's called "The Right Stuff" Man it cleans!!

Don't know if it is harmful to fiberglass. But will sure clean a boat.

I love simple green and never had it eat any finishes. Just wear latex gloves, because it WILL eat skin!

The best mix I found for cleaning boats is to put this in a garden-sprayer:

2 parts water
1-2 parts bleach
1 part simple green


Spray down an area and take the scrub brush to it. There's almost nothing it won't get off. Make sure to keep the area damn so it can work.

I use Sno Bowl. It leaves the boat sparkling clean with a minty smell afterward. It'll clean anything off in short notice.

Simple Green is the best all purpose cleaner I have found. Used it once to get burnt motor oil out of brand new light blue carpet, don't ask :roll: . Saved my then eight year old sons life. His mother was threating to do him bodily harm :wink:
