Cleaning Stains from Fiberglass
Over the winter, I stored my sailboat in a shed at our lake. Unfortunately,
the mice took over making it their home. I have cleaned the boat the best that I can using detergent, but there are still a lot of areas where the fiberglass is stained. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to eliminate these stains? Thanks, -- Mike Schumann |

Your supermarket should have a product called "Wink" in a little brown bottle. It's great for rust stains. Follow the instructions. Don't listen to Krause - he's an idiot. CN |

He wants to hurt you. http://www.acehardware.com/product/i...entPage=family Try Whink. It works great for stains based on iron. CN |
Anyone who has to tell people is smart, probably isn't.

Maybe so but idiot Harry Krause did not say anything about oxalic based cleaning products. The fool specified oxalic acid. CN |
CN,
This is in no way an attempt to defend Harry, but Oxalic Acid is an excellent cleanser. The MSDS says nothing about it's capability as a cleaning agent. Lots of cleaning agents are nasty. How about this one that I use for concrete: http://ptcl.chem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/HY/hy...oric_acid.html Nasty stuff, but I'd never use it in my boat g. --Mike "Capt. Neal®" wrote in message ...

I have good luck with ordinary laundry bleach. For stubborn stains, you can use
a cleaning powder like ajax, but don't rub it in as it is too abrasive. Just keep the affected area moist, while the bleach does it's work. You can try different concentrations of the bleach until you find one that works. You have to leave it on for a while to let the bleach do it's job. Another stronger product is 'Zud', which is also a cleanser type product. Sherwin D. Mike Schumann wrote: Over the winter, I stored my sailboat in a shed at our lake.

Although I'm not much of a Bar Keepers Friend fan - never seems to work right for me. Other's swear by it. However, I have had very good success with good old PLAIN Soft Scrub. I don't know why, but does a good job on fiberglass stains. Later, Tom |
