By the way Purple Power also works wonders on cleaning scuzzy ball caps. I've used the technique in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFnESGpDv4M - with very successful results on some of my favorite oft-worn sailing caps - St. Vincent & the Grenadines, St. John National Park, etc. - that had really disgusting scum buildup on the band around the forehead. They came out like new. I embellished the technique a bit, by scrubbing the sweatband and bill parts of the cap with a grout cleaning brush and Purple Power. No need to give up on your favorite old hats when they get too gross! Just clean 'em how that Bubba in the video says to.

Good to know. I guess I’m back to Purple Power and elbow grease.

I would be careful using it on a boat in high concentrations. Also standard bleach is not a cleaner unless it has some additives. I think the chlorine tablets remain stable for a while but liquid bleach like Clorox breaks down into salt and water even while sealed. In places that need known concentrations the suggested shelf life is six months. If it is stored outside of 50 - 70F it may break down faster.

I put a little chlorine pool pill in my intake strainer, and it corroded the 316 SS screen so bad half of it was gone. Didn?t take that long either.

Wolford Subject: Re: Stus-List cleaning the engine compartment. I discovered something by accident a few years ago. I decided to clean the cruddy, old freshwater tank on my 34 by putting in some water and a gallon of Clorox and letting it slosh around. I discovered a day or two later that the tank had leaked and nearly all the contents had drained into the bilge (which was more or less filled). When I removed the highly chlorinated water from the bilge, it was remarkably clean. _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
