September Tech Tip

What can I use to clean my pedal boat?

Many household products will work, we've used Soft Scrub with Bleach on the outside walls (use with care around the seats, top and covers, the color may bleach out!). Your may try a RV cleaner on the hull to take subborn stains out (check on the packaging for usage specs). Dirt in pores on the surface probably won't come out, so don't sweat it. You can also use lacquer thinner on really trouble some marks. If you keep your boat in the water all summer, and have developed a "scum" line, use a household power washer to help remove it.

The interior surfaces can be cleaned with a regular spray cleaner like Fantastic or Formula 409. Before you use anything on the seats, make sure to test a small spot to ensure it won't leave spots or take the color out.
