I'd pick white vinegar.

WTF is that gonna do ?

Awesome from the dollar store. :thumbsup:

I'm not going for that old wives tale. :smt021

 

My one cleaning product? Hmmmm.... Does our cleaning lady classify as a cleaning product?

 

+:thumbsup:

 

L.A.'s Totally Awesome is just that. Awesome.

It's the Frank's Red Hot of cleaning...

"I use that $hit on everything"

 

Does our cleaning lady classify as a cleaning product?

Maybe, If she's hot looking , :grin:

 

L.A.'s Totally Awesome is just that. Awesome.

Huh ??. :smt017

 

Look closely at the label. It's not called Awesome or totally awesome...

it's called L.A.'s totally awesome.
I use it to descale our Kurig machine and our regular coffee machine at work. Makes them look brand new and coffee tastes better when it's from a clean machine.

Some of the products are concentrated, make sure you read the labels.

 

Vinigar has acid in it and will remove hard water spots in the fall also the wax if not diluted.Totally awsome is good stuff,and cheap.I need to try it on the cockpit vinyl.

 

The cleaning product I use most often is Ivory Liquid. But, would be hard pressed to not take boat wash soap.

 

Simple Green.

 

+1 On the Simple Green. We use it on everything. Dinghy, decks, vinyl, etc. I don't know how true it is but I like that it says biodegradable and non toxic.

 

+2 on the Simple Green.

 

Spray Nine

 

Ditto

 

Whatever Scooter (Wayne's) Drinking!!

 

This is the main cleaner that I already do keep on the boat and use: Serious Shine from Shurhold. It's not a "heavy duty" cleaner, but then with regular cleanings I usually don't need anything heavy duty. It works on vinyl, fiberglass (cleans w/o removing wax - actually leaves the fiberglass shinier than before), glass, pretty much everything. http://shurhold.com/serious-shine-14-oz-aerosol

 

+1 on the serious shine. Stuff works great on just about anything.

 

Beer.

It temporarily resolves other issues as well.

 

Scotch, it's stronger

Plain white vinegar is great but I don't like my boat smelling like pickles so this is my go-to cleaner for everything. You get the benefits of vinegar without the smell...

I haven't seen this product before but this makes an excellent point. If we knew what these "named" products we liked were based on or made from, how many would be made from vinegar? The restoration carpet cleaners we work with have said to only use vinegar for spot cleaning. That is the same thing they use except it is denatured to remove smell. So called spot carpet cleaners often set the stain so they cannot remove it,

Windex contains liquid wax, be careful what you use it on.

 

News to me....respectfully I'm not sure this is true. Straight up blue Windex strip your wax because it has ammonia but the multi-purpose vinegar variety will not. Just so there is no mis-information, can you point to something that shows that Windex contains wax?

According to their website:

Use Windex® Multi-Surface Vinegar to gently clean stainless steel, tile, chrome, vinyl, plastic and dozens of other surfaces to a streak-free shine. This fast, easy solution is versatile enough to use throughout your home. And the special ammonia-free formula has no harsh vinegar smell—just a fresh, clean scent.

Plus, with the comfort trigger, easy-grip bottle and angled tube, you’re able to get more shine out of every bottle.Works on:

• Corian®, Silestone® and Formica® countertops*
• Sealed granite countertops
• Sealed marble countertops (real or synthetic)
• Glass
• Windows, including factory-tinted auto windows
• Appliances like microwaves, stovetops, toasters, etc.
• Kitchen fixtures
• Stainless steel
• Ceramics
• Enameled paint appliances
• Ceramic tile
• Plastic
• Vinyl
• And more

 

Roll Off

 

+1 on the Roll-Off. I`ve tried a lot of cleaners and found this one the best.

 

Pez - Cherry flavor Pez, no question about it

 

AND an obscure "Stand By Me" Quote.

Awesome!!!

Time for new eyeglasses. :smt021.

 

Plain windex for me. I clean my whole house and the boat with it.

 

Assuming your boat is kept in reasonably good shape, white vinegar does:

Diluted to 50%:
-Cleans glass and clear vinyl and removes hard water spots
-Cleans all interior hard and soft surface and deodorizes (particularly the head)
-Spot cleans carpet and vinyl (but not as good as magic eraser but nothing is)
-Cleans chrome and stainless and removes water spots and salt residue
-Removes and kills mold and mildew stains and deodorizes
-Cleans and removes mildew and salt from lines, fenders, closed storage compartments etc


Diluted to 25%:
-Cleans gelcoat and canvas either as boat wash or wash down spray
-Refreshes potable water tank and removes all bad taste after annual sterilization

It's totally cool for the environment.

I like white vinegar

 

I use the Marine Spray Nine. Not sure if there's really a difference or just an upcharge for the word "marine".

 

I must be stupid or retarded. In my 57yrs on this earth.

I've NEVER heard of vinegar used as a cleaner. :huh:

 

with god as my witness, i never knew turkeys couldnt fly......
