The vessel, just received from the trading warehouse, pleases the eye with the freshness and cleanliness of the surfaces of the hull and deck, the ideal condition of the vinyl covering of the furniture and finishing inside the cabins and saloon.
But as soon as the yacht sits at the pier for only two or three weeks, we notice that the appearance has lost its original attractiveness - the deck has become dusty, dirt stains and a yellowish oil film appear on the sides. The underwater part of the hull gradually turns green, and in the warm season the boat or yacht quickly takes on a sloppy appearance.
What are these stains on our favorite sofa in the saloon? And the skipper's chair also took on a worn-out look in places.
Over time, if no measures are taken, even the jig and fenders can become covered with a greenish coating that is unpleasant to the touch and smell...
Just a few years ago, we would have habitually taken up a sponge, a scraper, and cleaning powders... But today we can save energy and at the same time protect the material of the hull, deck, furniture, plastic or vinyl trim of the interior and cabins from harmful abrasive effects and radical chemical cleaning methods.
The global chemical industry nowadays offers a wide range of special products for the care of plastic sheathing and deck coverings, window glass, railings, awnings, vinyl seat upholstery, etc.
Let's not forget those products that not only improve the appearance of the yacht, but also contribute to its more economical operation, extending the service life of materials and maintaining the appearance of the boat in good condition for a more or less long time. These include, among other things, special cleaners for fiberglass hulls, plastic and vinyl deck coverings, furniture and upholstery of yacht interiors.

Cleaners for small ships that we offer are characterized by:

Vinyl & Plastic Boat Cleaners
A guide to choosing cleaners for vinyl and plastic of yachts and boats, according to topRik experts, should begin with this phrase: do not save on purchasing specialized products, because such savings will result in even greater costs for repairing or replacing damaged plastic and vinyl surfaces. Leave compositions for car care and household furniture to motorists and housewives. They do not provide one of the most important properties of specialized marine products - their biosolubility and safety for water bodies and the coast.
Therefore, when asked what to look for in cleaning products for plastic and vinyl used on boats, the answer is: a biosolubility mark. After all, all dirty water after washing will go into the sea, and products for washing cars and household plastic panels contain substances that are dangerous to people and marine life. Just think about how many children can be harmed by these substances.
Now, among the biosoluble compositions, you should highlight the universal ones, which can be used for washing vinyl, plastic and other types of surfaces. It is advisable that it be a concentrated preparation; it will take up a smaller volume, but it will last for a long time. Add here a degreaser for all surfaces and a vinyl restorer - now your set for vinyl & plastic cleaning is ready.
Any experienced sailor, giving advice on how to care for a yacht, will definitely spend a lot of time cleaning it from dirt. After all, this is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also the lifespan of any vessel. The cleanliness of the hull, bottom, sides and decks, plastic and vinyl coverings, especially of a fiberglass yacht, directly determines how long it will bring joy to its owner.
