What's the best method and product you found to clean the non slip surface on your Whaler?

The Whaler non slip surface seems to attract and hold everything that looks dirty Sad

Livingwater,

There are many different products that people use and hopefully you will here many of them from other members.

Here is what I use.
First I wet the entire deck.
Second I spray on "Simple Green" over the entire deck.
Third I sprinkle on a little "Bar Keepers Friend".
I let soak for a little while but do not let dry.
Then I take a deck brush and scrub the entire deck.
I let that soak for a little while but do not let dry.
I then wet the deck again with water and brush the deck again.
Immediately rinse the deck down with water and brush away any residue using lots of water.

The deck becomes so clean that I really don't want to walk on it and get it dirty. Smile

I just get in there with a bucket of salt water (on the way in), a box of "Baking soda", a good stiff brush, and some elbow grease, I scrub like a maniac for about 10 minutes, then I just wash down with a garden hose (fresh water) when I tie up at the dock. The floor comes out "Pretty clean", it's not a sterile operating room floor but, it's pretty clean, most important (to me anyway) is that the little fishy's ~>"Wink)))>< in the Bay don't get harmed by inert "Baking Soda" when Auto. Bilge kicks on. Hope this helps...

I just use softscrub and a stiff nylon brush. be sure to hose off well, rebrush with a rinsed brush and hose off again or haze will remain.
