Maintenance and Refit
Which products should be used to clean the bilge?
The only question worth asking is whether the water will be pumped overboard. Nothing but marine-safe, biodegradable products should be used, and strong solvents can lift paint and insulation.
Why it works this way
Residue left in the bilge after cleaning can also mask a new leak in a survey — which is a second reason to keep it simple.
