What to use to clean inside of a boat ?

Post by Troller »

Hi everyone,
I will be cleaning up my boat this weekend. I would like to remove some soil stains. My boat took a beating inside at BOQ lol. Does anyone know of a good outdoor type carper cleaner I can use to remove soil and coffee stains on my boat.
The sooner I clean it the sooner I can go fishing again 8)
Thanks,
Daver

Just get a small bottle of GOOGone that stuff will clean anything.

Hey Daver,

I just did a big clean of the boat this past weekend. It had coffee stains, coke stains and lots of fish slime and some blood. This is what I did:

-Took my pressure washer to the carpet in "rotary mode" -- this does a good job of "beating" the carpet.

-Used a brush dunked in soapy water and brushed the carpet

-Sprayed it down with the pressure washer again

-Sucked up all the dirty, soapy water with my wet/dry shopvac.

I wish I took some before and after pics because it looks awesome. It was definitely alot of work but all the stains came out.

Good luck.

Pete
