Wood Dock Cleaning

Josh,

All of our products are completely biodegradable and can be used in the marsh directly above water. Just dont use bleach. The Green Wash will clean great without it.

Awesome, thanks ac! So the green wash will clean the algae all without the bleach? Should I double the amount of gw? Well it need a longer dwell time as well? Thanks

Great question because I live 1.5 hours away from Lake Of The Ozarks and have been asked if I can clean docks and boat lifts on the water.

I would use no chem on a dock most of the time. Biodegradable does not equal 0 environmental impact. If you can put your pet fish in a bowl of green wash and it lives than go for it.

Any dock cleaners out there?

I live on the bay and clean alot of docks.. If you use any chems you most likely will get busted by some old lady spying out of her window and calling the authorities.. Unfortunately you just have to pressure wash them, most of the time that is the desired look that they are going for.. I know thats not the answer your looking for, but there not fond on spraying chems into the bay/lake/pond

That is what I was kind of thinking. What tip do you like to use? Do you go with the grain or against? Thanks for the help!

Lee Kendall · Junior Member

the turbo tip destroys wood, I THINK I use the 40 degree tip, and with the grain, usually on docking materials the grain runs width wise. Just don't get too close or you will splinter the wood and be out there with sanders for hours!(Test out your tip on one of the stringers) that way if it is the wrong degree no one will ever see it

We have done a couple docks and have used a small surface cleaner with good results, I'm not to good with a tip on the end of a wand when it comes to wood.

In our case Bill our chems have been formulated to directly discharge into water. I am actually thinking of starting a boat care line and selling in retailers.

You will need to use a pressure washer to remove the stains but then treat with Green Wash. Maintain then as well with straight Green Wash.

Bill,

I cant completely take credit for it. Quite stumbled upon the fact when working with our chemist. It is a great feature though.
