Autosol Marine Foam Deck Cleaner – Complete Guide for Safe and Effective Use
Keeping your boat deck clean and safe is essential for performance, appearance and durability. One of the most trusted solutions is the Autosol Marine Foam Deck Cleaner, a professional-grade cleaner designed for marine environments. In this guide, we cover everything you need to know about using it on imitation teak and grey decking, safe handling instructions, and step-by-step application tips to get the best results.
✔ Surface Compatibility
The Autosol Marine Foam Deck Cleaner is specially formulated to work on a wide variety of boat deck surfaces, including:
- Imitation teak (synthetic teak, EVA foam decking, or polymer-based decking)
- Grey-coloured decking and painted GRP decks
- Textured non-slip fibreglass surfaces
- Plastic hatches and fittings around the deck area
Important: Always test the cleaner on a small hidden area first to confirm compatibility, especially on freshly painted or delicate coatings.
⚠ Safe Handling Instructions
Although this is a user-friendly product, it is still a chemical cleaning solution and should be handled responsibly. Below are the safety recommendations inspired by typical MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) guidance:
- Wear protective gloves to avoid skin dryness or irritation.
- Use eye protection if applying in windy conditions or with a pressure sprayer.
- Do not ingest or inhale – always use in well-ventilated areas.
- Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
In case of accidental contact with eyes, rinse immediately with clean water. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting – seek medical attention and show the product label.
🧽 Step-by-Step Application Guide
To achieve the best cleaning results on imitation teak or grey decking, follow these steps:
- Rinse the deck thoroughly with fresh water to remove loose dirt, dust, and salt.
- Shake the bottle well before use.
- Apply the Autosol Marine Foam Deck Cleaner evenly over the deck surface.
- Allow the foam to dwell for 2–3 minutes – this helps lift dirt, grease, and biological residues (such as algae).
- Scrub gently with a soft-to-medium deck brush, following the grain of the decking (important for imitation teak).
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water until no foam or residue remains.
- Allow to dry naturally before walking on the deck or reapplying any sealants/protective coatings.
💡 Pro Tips for Best Results
- For imitation teak: Avoid stiff wire brushes – they can scratch the surface. Use a medium bristle deck brush.
- For grey decking: This product will restore brightness without bleaching. Rinse thoroughly to prevent streaks.
- Regular maintenance: Clean your deck every 2–3 weeks during heavy use to prevent build-up of grime and salt.
- Eco-friendly tip: Collect rinse water where possible and avoid draining directly into marinas.
