Fix-a-Boat: How to Wash a Kayak!
A clean kayak is easier to inspect, more pleasant to paddle, and better prepared for its next trip. This installment of Fix-a-Boat shares the products used to wash down a well-loved boat.
Products Used to Wash a Kayak
The cleaning supplies used were cleaning vinegar, Zep Shower Tub & Tile Cleaner, and Zep All-Purpose Cleaner and Degreaser. Select a cleaner appropriate for the material and follow the product label before beginning.
Keep Your Boat Going
The purpose of the Fix-a-Boat series is to encourage paddlers to care for and work on their own kayaks. Regular maintenance can help a boat last longer and may reduce the need to replace it prematurely.
Once your boat is ready, take it out on the water with a guided kayaking tour or plan your next Colorado River adventure.
