Cleaning cockpit floor

A stiff brush and some simple green remove mine easily.

 

Started w/ Stiff Brush then used Scotch Brite Pad

 

Try a medium bristle carpet cleaning brush on a drill, or even better yet, a random orbital or rotary polisher if you have one.
You can find the brush for your drill on Amazon or for a polisher either there or most auto detailing supply websites.
Do a small section at a time.
Spray the cleaner of your choice on the surface then deep clean it with the brush on the power tool.

 

Star Brite non skid cleaner and a drill brush off amazon. Ours is yellow.

 

Spray 9 Cleaner or Starbrite Deck Cleaner. Try to stay away from bleaches as they are too harsh for the gelcoat.

I'll add one more...........
Soft scrub with a stiff brush.

 

Those little guys gave me nightmares on my 310. I used almost every suggestion above but then I still had to get on my hands and knees and slowly remove the stubborn ones with a small head screwdriver/knife. I'll never forget that day either, it was close to 150 degrees..

 

I used easy off oven cleaner. It worked well but required a few applications.

 

I will second this! I tried everything and nothing else worked.

 

When you do the cleaning, try to keep that stuff from draining into the bilge. It will make a mess of the bilge and gum up your bilge pumps.

 

Maybe a powerwasher?

 

I remember I had the same issue years ago on a 370, soft scrub and a stiff hand brush took it off pretty easy. It did not harm any gelcoat and smelled good too!

Bow Tie

 

I tried a pressure washer on mine to no avail, but it was pretty backed on.

 

Not trying to be funny, because Easy Off was the only thing that worked for me. I realized neither Peter or me mentioned scrubbing with the oven cleaner, or allowing it to sit. Did you use a stiff bristled with it and let it sit for a few minutes first?

When I did it, it took A LOT of elbow grease still, but no other chemical I tried seemed to work.

I can’t blame for being a clean freak. We spend a lot on these boats, and they should be taken care of. It always saddens me to see a dilapidated or unused boat in the marina.

 

what about using a stiff bristle drill brush to do the heavy scrubbing for you?......

I should’ve bought one of these. My arm was ready to fall off by the end of the day.
