Between chasing salmon, crabs and prawns I hardly took my inflatable out of the water from April until October. As a result, there is some growth on it. No shellfish, mostly just muddy grock that is stuck on.

Anybody have a suggestion for something to help remove the grime before I store it? I plan to pressure wash it but am wondering if there is a spray on detergent that will help the process.

The material is Hypalon, like PVC. Its pretty tough.

Thanks!

Green scrubbies and elbow grease. A mild detergent like Sunlight will help once the big stuff is off. That's the typical process for all of our RHIB's.

most important after the scrubbing, use 303.

elbow grease instead of pressure washing, or both? i'm a little nervous about pressure washing the glue joints.

Instead of... the right angle or pressure can slice a sponson open like a razor through a plum.
