Guys got any easy ideas on the best way to clean center console boats on the inside. As you know when the floor gets wet your shoes really make a mess on the white floor and sides. Need to know easy way to clean and what to clean. the carwash is ok but not really good. Thanks in advance

Starbrite Deck Cleaner is a good product for cleaning the non-skid.

Or, I often use a mixture of 1 part bleach, 1 part simple green, and 3 parts water in a spray bottle.

I only do the "big" cleaning about once a month, between cleans I just rinse.

Another tip...you can apply a product called "Woody Wax" to the non-skid. Its a non-slippery wax that will help keep dirt, grime, and blood from sticking to the floor so bad.

I found a product at Academy that is just for the textured white floor you are talking about. I put it in a spray bottle, wet the deck with water,spray the cleaner on, let it sit for a little bit and I bought a brush you can put on a broom handle. Scrub it a little bit, rinse and it looks like new. It is really an easy product to use, but I don't remember the name of it.

Zep grease and fiber glass cleaner at Home Depo. Be sure and mix it with water and don't get it on your hands.

I think its called Industrial Purple.

Why bother cleaning when it's gonna get bloody again in a couple days?

I immediately thought of you when I saw this post!

Wanna know Zeek's secret formula for cleaning a center console?

1)Fish from it for an entire year
2)Clean it
3)Fish from it for another year
4)Clean it again
5)Repeat

Comet and a little water. Let it sit for 10 minutes then more water and a stiff brush. I do it once a week and it works a little better than any of the special cleaners.

I've tried lots of different things with varying success. Some of the products specifically for cleaning boats work but are expensive and don't last long. The BEST thing I've found is bleach. I keep a 1 gal bug spray bottle on the boat filled with half water and half bleach. I just spray the inside of the boat down with the bleach mix, let it set for a few minutes and rinse it with a pressure washer. Works like a champ. Takes about 5 minutes and the boat is white again. If you don't have access to a car wash or pressure washer you can brush and rinse but thats work barf and I'm lazy. Don't wear your good clothes or you risk bleach spots on them.

I use a couple of knock off Magic Erasers and some water. I spend about 15 minutes going over the floors, front and rear decks and the center console, but it makes the inside look like new when I am done. I do this cleaning once a month or so, other than that I just rinse it down. If you are really worried about getting the inside dirty from shoes, keep a towel on the boat and when people are about to get in, wet the towel, lay it on the dock and have everyone wipe their feet before entering.

Starbright works great! Get 3 different cleaner one for the deck, hull and vinyl.

+1 on the magic erasers, they're great at taking of scuff marks and such when your boat needs a serious cleaning.

Marine Spray Nine from Academy. This stuff is strong so I cut it in half with H20 and it will take off the black marks on the inside of my Robalo. I saw an advert on OFN during the program
Reel Adventures and it works as they show on there commercial.

Marine Spray Nine is probably the same thing "GottaSlabit" is referring to as well.
