Bildge Cleaning Product?

[belliswood]

Need to clean my bildge at the very low area where the bildge pumps are. It is black and discusting looking. What should I use to clean this black crud with?

Thanks your your suggestions.

Hi Belliswood, I use Simple Green it is a great de-greaser and also disinfects so you can use it else where on the boat. Just spray the whole bige area with it and let it sit for a while and then hose out. You may have to rub the spots where there is alot of crud, but it will do the trick.

That's what I use, as well.

You have to use really hot water with it too. If you have a ton of oily film, yes spraying it down and letting it sit without diluting it first will help. Then get in there with a brush and a 5 gallon bucket with 1// gal of Sime green and 1 gallon of really hot water. Use the other 1/2 gallon of Simple green for the pre-soak. Make sure you're well ventilated and don't stay in there long while it soaks.

I used Gunk engine degreaser this past weekend. Worked good for me.
