Note: Before you use a particular cleaning solution or method, test
the material to be cleaned in a hidden or inconspicuous area for
possible adverse reactions. Use cleaning agents sparingly. Never
discharge cleaning solutions into the waterways. Do not use prod-
ucts containing phosphates, chlorine, solvents, or nonbiodegrad-
able or petroleum based products.

Note: Make sure household detergent does not contain ammonia or
chlorine. Because ammoniate or abrasive cleaners dull and dis-
color the gelcoat surface, they are not recommended for routine
maintenance.
