- cleaner deck cleaning
Gotta use common sense; don't direct pressure washer stream at bedded hardware, seals, portlights, etc. I have been using a pressure washer on my boats for 40 years; no problem! Sure beats scrubbing on your hands & knees and deck is cleaned of bird droppings, mold/mildew, etc in one hour. Probably power wash 2X per year.

Alas, PA wine is only good for the bucket.@JBP-PA you add Pennsylvania wine to the bucket. I guess that is one technique… In Oregon the Pinot Noir is so good we prefer to drink it.
a. rotary scrub brushes (cheap on amazon) for your drill are great for non-skid.
b. Re. the alcohol references, I choose to remember that the dirt will come back, so past a certain point, to h___ with it. Birds will roost on the mast. A boat is a vehicle for travel, not jewelry.

Indeed. Important to remember. Just don't want it to look like a shanty town on water!
In fact, I will be doing my spring cleaning tomorrow. It won't be perfect, but it will be pretty darn good and bright. It will pass the 20-foot test, and that is enough. No clutter either.
In the Spring, on the hard, I use Rain-X car wash soap with a long bristle deck brush, works great. For mold, mildew or really dirty areas, I use a paste like mixture of Ajax and a sponge.
