1.
To clean dirt, footprints, etc. from your SeaDek, use an all-purpose cleaner, degreaser,
or dish soap along with warm water and a medium bristled deck brush. Put the cleaner
or soap in warm water. Take a medium bristled brush and dunk into the water mixture.
Work around on SeaDek until dirt, etc. comes up. Rinse with clean water. Repeat if
necessary.
2.
To remove suntan lotion, use the all-purpose cleaner or degreaser alone with a
medium bristled deck brush. Put small amount of the cleaner on the oil stain. Dip
medium bristled boat brush in warm water and work around until oil is out. Rinse with
clean water. Repeat if needed.
3.
To remove fish blood, use 1 cup bleach to 1 gallon of warm water and soft bristled
boat brush. Mix bleach and water. Take a soft bristled brush and dunk in the mixture. In
a circular motion clean SeaDek until fish blood is up. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Repeat if necessary. If not effective, see step 4.
4.
To remove rust stains, use a cap full of vinegar or oxalic acid. Apply on the rust stain
and allow to soak for 3-5 minutes. If necessary, use latex/nitrile gloves to massage the
cleaner into the texture of the SeaDek pad. Rinse with water. Repeat if necessary.
With oxalic acid, please be careful to avoid getting this solvent on the sides of the
SeaDek pad, it could damage the lamination or PSA.
- Please follow your state and/or country regulations for proper chemical handling.
- Please be careful with all cleaning products. Wear vinyl or nitrile gloves and eye
protection.

- Oxalic Acid (not as a general cleaner, okay for Step 4 application only)

- Bleach (if used, dilute 1 cup with 1 gallon of water)
