Everyone has an easy time finding cleaning supplies for their kitchen, grills, floors, and furniture, but sometimes it can be difficult finding the right kind of supplies for your boats. So many companies claim to have the "best" cleaners or they promote the fact that they're "green". How do we know who to believe?
The BoatUS Foundation decided to test different boat cleaners to see which ones live up to their environmentally friendly testimony. During testing they looked for toxicity as well as how well they biodegraded. Some people like to think that "green" cleaners aren't as strong, but the researchers found that they in fact outperformed most conventional cleaners.
The best cleaners were fully biodegradable in as little as two weeks which is important since cleaners that break down slowly have a more harmful effect on aquatic life according to BoatUS Foundation Director Susan Shingledecker.
The cleaners that performed the best (and ones that you should purchase for your own boat) are:
*Thetford Marine Boat Wash
*ConcrobiumXT EcoWash
*Shurhold's Yacht Bright Bright Wash
*Simple Green All-Purpose
*4U Concentrated Cleaner
*3M Marine Boat Soap
