    Do they really need cleaned after every trip? Pretty sure we both suffer from the same level of OCD but dang. I'd hate to clean the floor every trip. Shining up that gel each time is fun though. lol.

    If you are referring to EVA flooring, its going to show scuffing and to a certain degree going to look dirty because of usage. Your not going to get it to look new again once you have started walking,stamping, letting fish flop on it.That is one of the downfalls of that flooring. Had it for 3yrs now and that has been my experience.

    Reflex flooring is not EVA it’s a Polyethylene foam product that’s much denser than EVA. Apples and oranges.

    Is there something you can put on it to prevent some of that staining in the first place?

    Does Bass Cat offer a darker color that the light gray? I feel like that would hide stuff better than a lighter color. I've only seen the lighter color in pictures.

    Yep, gets dirty just like carpet. Awesome or Tub n Tile and a pressure washer does the trick. If you’re OCD, scrub before you pressure wash.

    I have an Aqua Traction floor in my 2020 Checkmate Pulsare and it is high density PE and marketed as very difficult to stain. If mine gets wet, the water quickly evaporates but it almost always leaves a "ring" or outline of the edges of the wet spot. So water stains mine and I have to use an upholstery cleaner on it, which so far has always removed it. My boat sits on a lift in a covered dock, and has a tight fitting Marine Concepts cover on it, so the floor still looks like new. it feels good on your feet, and does not get hot. I have about 130 hours on it, and it is only exposed to the sun, water or spills while being used. If it was a bass / fishing boat I would consider it very high maintenance.

    I have contact the reFLEX folks through their website and sent emails numerous times over the last few months asking for their recommendations for cleaning it. They’ve never responded.

    I cleaned mine for the first time yesterday. I sprayed it with water, then Purple Power. I think hit it (easily) with a rotary brush. It cleaned right up.
