Boat cleaning supplies – basic equipment for cleaning surfaces
In the Washing Equipment product group you will find basic boat washing supplies: Visella boat sponge, telescopic washing brush with water connection (2.5m), Mirka Polarshine microfiber cloths (2pcs), Talamex PVC bucket in anthracite color, Talamex Deluxe deck brush handle (150cm) and a separate washing brush with a hose connection.
The telescopic handle wash brush allows you to wash the entire hull and deck without reaching or using a ladder, and the hose connection brings water directly to the brush head, which speeds up the wash and reduces the need to walk back and forth between the water hose and the wash area. The microfiber cloth effectively picks up dirt without scratching the gelcoat surface, unlike a coarser regular sponge or cloth, which can dull the glossy surface over time.
Wash your boat regularly to prevent salt and dirt from building up, as dried salt can crystallize and scratch the surface the next time you wash it if it is not rinsed off in time. Choose the stiffness of the wash brush according to the surface – a softer brush is suitable for shiny gelcoat surfaces, a stiffer one for deck materials that can withstand more intense abrasion.
A telescopic wash brush with a water connection allows you to wash the entire hull from the dock without having to reach or use a ladder, and bringing water directly to the brush head via a hose connection speeds up the work considerably compared to separate watering and brushing. A PVC bucket is a durable and lightweight tool for mixing detergent or carrying water when the hose does not reach everywhere.
Mirka Polarshine microfiber cloths are especially suitable for finishing glossy surfaces such as windows and gelcoat without the risk of scratching - a coarser material could leave fine scratches on the glossy surface with prolonged use. Rinse and dry cleaning equipment after use to prevent mold or odor during storage.
Talamex is a well-known Dutch boating brand whose cleaning products are designed specifically for boat use to withstand repeated exposure to salt water and sun – making them a more durable choice than regular cleaning products designed for home use.
Storing your washing equipment in a dry, ventilated place prevents it from getting moldy and significantly extends its lifespan compared to damp, closed storage.
The deck brush handle can also be used for other cleaning tasks, such as washing windows or the cabin roof, when a suitable cleaning head is attached to it.
The combination of cleaning products covers both the needs of daily quick cleaning and more thorough seasonal cleaning without the need to purchase separate products for each situation.
The brush head is easily removable for separate washing or replacement if necessary.
The wash brush handle can be extended with an additional section if necessary, if the height of the boat requires a longer reach to the upper parts of the hull.
