Many owners of inflatable boats wonder if they can clean their boat with the cleaning agent Dasty. You may have read on various water sports forums that people share positive experiences about using Dasty to clean their inflatable boat. Despite these stories, Dasty is not the right product to clean your inflatable boat.Why Dasty not suitable for your rubber dinghy
Dasty contains harmful chemicals that affect the material of your rubber boat. Using Dasty can lead to accelerated wear of your boat. Think of problems such as seams that come loose because the glue dissolves. This can no longer be repaired and can significantly shorten the lifespan of your boat. In addition, using Dasty causes your rubber boat to stick, which creates an ideal environment for dirt, mold and algae.
Consequences of using Dasty:
- Accelerated wear: Harmful chemicals in Dasty attack the rubber.
- Loose seams: The glue in the seams of your boat can dissolve, causing them to come loose.
- Sticky surface: A sticky rubber boat attracts dirt, mold and algae.
- Irreparable damage: The damage caused by Dasty is often beyond repair.
Can I clean my rubber dinghy with green soap?
Almost everyone is familiar with green soap. This is a common cleaning agent in the household. Green soap is a natural product, which makes it good for the environment. Unfortunately, green soap is also not suitable for cleaning your rubber boat! Cleaning your rubber boat with green soap has 2 disadvantages: 1). After you have cleaned your rubber boat with Green Soap, a greasy layer will unfortunately always remain (it does not matter how much water you use to rinse the rubber boat). It is precisely this greasy layer that ensures that dirt, mold and algae adhere to your rubber boat. 2). The oil from which green soap is made will corrode the PVC cloth and the seams after some time, causing your rubber boat to wear out faster and become porous (and can no longer be repaired!). With green soap, you will therefore ensure that the lifespan of your rubber boat is shortened!Not the right means to clean your rubber dinghy!
