Boats/FAQ
- I just cannot seem to kill the mold growing on my canvas. What can I do?
First scrub and clean the canvas using our White Scrubbie Pad with pad Holder, distilled white vinegar and CLEAN EZ All Purpose Green Cleaner. CleanEz and vinegar combined make a great team killing mold and mildew on both canvas and vinyl seats.
Mix a 1 cup water to 1 cup vinegar adding 1/4 cup CleanEz. Spead over the canvas and roll it up then let it set 30 minutes. Unroll and rinse with plain water. If possible allow the canvas to dry in the hot sun all day. Heat also kills mold.
- Mary, what is your secret to keeping propellers from growing mold and mildew?
After cleaning the propellers with CLEAN EZ All Purpose Green Cleaner coat them with Teflon to keep the mold and grime off the blades. Make sure the Teflon you use does not contain petroleum distillates, which is sometimes called Alephatic Hydrocarbon or Hydrocarbon on packages.
- Like all people who clean their fish on their boats getting the blood off the counter and deck seems like an impossible job. Any tips?
Yes, use straight hydrogen peroxide and half a capful of CLEAN EZ All Purpose Green Cleaner to remove fish blood from surfaces. Bleach will contaminate the water whereas peroxide is safe to use. Always pull your boat out of the water before cleaning.
- Mary my cabinets in my boat have turned a bit grey from all the salt water. Is there anything that will restore them without having to sand and refinish them?
You will find our Wood Care Cleaner and Conditioner to be just what you need. Depending on the condition of the cabinets, our wood treatment will restore your cabinets not to new condition but close. Then treat your cabinets three to four times a year to keep them in top condition especially at the beginning and end of the boating season.
- My vinyl seats seem to be getting dry and I'm having a hard time cleaning them. What can I do?
If your vinyl seats are newer and not beginning to dry our Leather/Vinyl Cleaner and Conditioner will deep clean and restore their soft pliable texture. It will also remove blood and ink.
If they are older and dirt has worked deep into the grain then clean them first with CLEAN EZ All Purpose Cleaner. It will remove mold mildew and heavy dirt.
Allow the seats to dry about an hour then immediately apply our Leather/Vinyl Cleaner and Conditioner This will remove any lingering cleaner and deep condition your vinyl. Then treat your seats at least three times a year to protect them from the suns damaging affects.
- Mary we can't use regular toilet bowl cleaners on our boat and the drains tend to clog. HELP!
Don't panic, Take our Diluted CLEAN EZ , which will not damage the gaskets in your holding tanks. Spray the inside of your toilet then sprinkle some baking soda on your toilet bowl brush and scrub away.
Once the bowl is clean, spray Advantage Waterless Wash and Protectant around the edges of the bowl to coat the sides, which makes them slick. I'll leave it to your imagination as to how easy it becomes to clean your toilets when nothing sticks to the bowl!
