WASHING AND CLEANING YOUR BOAT DO NOT USE products that contain toxic ingredients such as chlorine, phosphates and ammonia to clean a boat's deck and hull.

Rinse your boat only with fresh water after each use. This will reduce your need     for cleansers.

Purchase the least toxic product available to do the job.

Look for the words "phosphate-free" and "bio-degradable" on the product label.

Do not open cleaning containers on deck.

Do not wash spills into the water. Clean them up with a rag.
