way to clean neglected boat
 

Is there any better, low cost way to clean a boat with lots of leaves in it
(I blew the leaves out with a leaf blower, but they still leave lots of
messy residue), mildew on it, etc, that's been sitting around a few years
untouched? I'm on one now, and so far I've had pretty good results with a
bucket of water, a cup of el cheapo detergent, a splash of bleach, and a
solid long handled scrub brush. Although it's done a good job on most of
the boat, there are a few spots I'm going to have to give special attention
to and get tough with.

Tips or advice welcome.

Clean it up the best you can without going crazy. Believe it or not, a few
weeks exposed to the hot summer sun will bleach out the remaining leaf
stains naturally.

Can't tell from ypur post what the boats made of or if you can drain it
easily by tipping or drain plug. I have rented/borrowed a pressure
sprayer before with excellant results. For oil grease, forget
soap/detergent and scrub with simple green, it really does work
differently.

I have noticed this phenomenon too. Many times, my boat is cleaner/whiter
when
I return to it after a few weeks in the sun, than when I left it. I thought
someone
may be cleaning my boat while I was away :)

Me too. But I'm gentle with it.
