Boat Cleaning Tool

Boat Cleaning Tool

When you have an older fiberglass boat it can be hard to get her looking good. Here in South Florida there are a few months out of the year that air is so humid it will let algae grow on any surface. If the surface is slightly porous like fiberglass gel-coat, algae will grow on it almost overnight. The same can be said about mildew. It can be major work to get algae and mildew off the boat.

On non-skid surfaces the clean-up can be even harder. The non-skid surface on a boat I am working on has a cross pattern to it almost like a screen. To get it clean you have to scrub it along the lines one way and then scrub it along the lines the other way. It is a lot of dock brush work.

Dirt gets in the grooves of the non-skid and is hard to clean

I found a brush that you put in an electric drill that makes cleaning the nonskid easier. It is still work but it is less work. I can see that the brush will have other great uses. The wife has already got her eyes on it. I think I may have to order a few for her in different stiff-nesses. And this tool I will need to put away when I am done with it or it will end up in her toolbox.

The drill brush can scrub in the non-skid easier than a hand dock brush.
