    Bleach and water mixed 50/50, let it sit then rinse. Did it last week and it worked great.

    Awesome from dollar store. Buy 1/2 gallon and spray half in bilge, wait hour or so, rinse with hose. Repeat. You won't believe what the bilge area actually looks like when clean.

    For coffee mugs, thermos's etc..........2 heaping table spoons of baking soda and about 1//2 cup of peroxide.........then add BOILING water but do this in the sink becaise it boils over like Mount St Helen and the crud comes up to the surface.

    Spray down with a quart of full strength Awesome. Wait about an hour and hose off. May have to repeat if really dirty.

    That’s what I used, except I sprayed it on first with a hand sprayer then added a little extra and some water, let tit sit for about 5-10 minutes and then hit what I could reach with a toilet brush then rinsed, looked about like new.

    Electric pressure washer. strong enough to work, not so strong to damage most items.

    If I cant get it with the pressure washer, most likely couldn't see it anyways.

    I used Purple Power, and a power washer Also engine degreaser. And then flush it all out with a water hose . If you want it to get very clean, you have to get in there and brush and power wash it. Don't try and take the easy way out. Get in there and get it done. You will definitely be happy with the finish job. This drives me nuts when I'm looking at a used Bass boat and the bilge is a dirty greasy oily mess. Keep it clean fellas.
