Cleaning Vinyl Pontoon Floor
Greetings, forum friends!
I've noticed Boatie Two's floor is getting grungy. What's the best way to clean it? The trick: we beach it, so I don't have a water hose. I can get power if necessary, but there's no close enough hose for a power washer. Sent from my SM-G950U using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

On our boat, my wife took care of the upholstery and fiber glass up higher, and I had the pleasure of doing scrub-a-dub dub with a crew of three, Me, Myself, and I. And unless we were in our driveway, only water and the brush. Amazing what can be done with elbow grease and water. Dave

It's not possible to use lake water with a power washer, right? Sent from my SM-G950U using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

Use caution with hot steam though as there are lots of plastic parts on boats. Concentrating the nozzle on a vinyl floor should yield good results and may require a bit of brush work as well.

I think I'll try lake water and a deck brush. Anyone have suggestions for a long handled one? My knees don't take kindly to hard surfaces anymore!

You could use one of these... https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for rinsing if you want to invest in it. I have one on my pontoon that has lasted for years. Use it mainly to keep my dog cool and wet on warm days but it has a lot of other uses and works great. Just dip one end in the water and it pumps water right out. Charges in any USB port and battery last a while... Dan
