WM offers a special cleaner for Hypalon Inflatable RIBs. What cheap stuff works on the grey hypalon?

Stick With a Dedicated Cleaner

Unless you have a special knowledge, I'd stick with a dedicated cleaner owing to my experience of killing two inflatables years past by over-caring and poor choices of cleaners. Your investment is too great to skimp on that component. Shop other sources and buy in larger quantities. Good luck, Rick D.

Inflatable Cleaners

Dan, I wouldnt presume to debate Rick, but I use scrubbing bubbles and a scotch brite. Works very well, non toxic, and no petroleum in it. Cheers

Rick- Inflatable cleaners

My First Mate read about your use of inflatable cleaners and asked whether we could get one for deck washing and hull waxing etc.:)

Inflatable Cleaners

Dan D, absolutely! Harr Harr. Im liking your first mate's sense o humor! The cleaners can be modified to perform all sorts of tasks. They come with an auto inflate cartridge and ample supply of quarters, but remember, in an emergency there is a manual inflation tube right near the beltline :) Happy cleaning. Cheers

I usually Use a Cleaner...

...that is commercially available, but I have also seen people use Soft Scrub (which contains bleach) and get good results from it.

soft scrub and bleach plus 303

I agree, soft scrub and bleach with a 3m scrub pad, be sure and rinse thoroughly because of the bleach and then protect 3-4 times a year with 303 Protectant, available on this site. Dave Groshong Customer Service SailboatOwners.com

Simple Green

Dan, The old Tohatsu put out a pretty oily mess before it died and the dink was a bear to keep clean. Just happened to use some Simple Green one day and it cleaned up like brand new. Just spray right from the bottle. PM
