Any sugestions on a product, or home remedy , that will remove fish blood from the floor of the boat ? I usually use soft scrub with bleach, but it isn't cutting it this time. Thanks
Spike your soft scrub with bleach. Make sure its the concentrated bleach. Also add a little salt water to the mixture. The salt will help pull it from the deck floor.
Try an acid based cleaner for cleaning white walls on the tire rims you get it at NAPA. Use very little and make sure you rinse it off right away. It will remove the blood, but be careful with it and wear gloves.
I try to use "progressive cleaning" where I try to keep the deck, etc at least rinsed off as the day goes on. Most times you only need a wet rag..... but I'm also not afraid to whip the mop out, dunk it over the side and give an area a 15-30 second cleaning....... I sometimes pay the price of not doing that back at the dock! :kick

Yep. Even just splashing a bucket of water on it and rubbing with a shoe will keep it from drying hard. We follow the rule where the person who caught the fish has to take a few seconds to clean the blood. It takes some discipline when there's a good bite going but it's well worth it.

If that fails... pressure washer.
That's what we usually do . I am not completely sure it's blood. I know it is not rust. I have a few drops on the lid of my fish box. pressure washer, soap and soft scrub did not take care of it. I also know it is not spray on sunscreen , I won't let that stuff near my boat !
Do you use menhaden oil? That's some nasty stuff to get off. After trying various things I used mineral spirits for that and it helped, but it was still a pain.

X 2 on this.
Also, an iguana hide has just the right amount of abrasiveness to scrub the deck...I'm just saying !
(sorry, wrong thread :wink )
Souns like a potential new business idea! 'Guana Pads!
I guess the name "I-pads" is already taken...
