Any boat owner knows just how much time is needed to keep a boat clean. The decks need washing regularly, as do all the other parts and fittings on board. This is not just to keep the yacht looking good: proper care and maintenance of the materials used on the boat keeps them sound and prevents damage. Salt water and salt-laden air are, after all, highly corrosive, and intense sunlight is in itself damaging.

We at Boatcare know the importance of choosing the right product, whether for cleaning, maintenance or protective purposes. A lot of domestic cleaning products are, unfortunately, highly abrasive and can damage or dull the boat surfaces being cleaned. So for our own use, cleaning and maintaining boats for clients, we looked for a range of marine-specific, quality agents.

What we found was Italia Marine’s Blue Navy boat treatment range. Developed and tested over a period of years, it includes a wide variety of different products, each designed for a specific purpose. Blue Navy is idea for people who love to work on and maintain their boats themselves: the range includes effective rust removers, de-greasers, boat detergents, plastic and leather renewal creams and a lot more.

In fact, Italia Marine talk about using their Blue Navy range to “restyle” a boat: more than just cleaning the dirt off the surface, the range includes products that provide protection from the harsh elements, and maintain or even renew the condition of many of the materials used in constructing yachts.

The Italia Marine range looks after the environment as well. Most of the products are 90% biodegradable, conforming to Italy’s strict regulations, and the sprays use no propellants that are known to damage the ozone layer. With these products, getting your boat cleaned up does not mean creating new dirt in the rest of the environment.

Besides the cleaning products themselves, Italia Marine also supplies the accessories you need to clean and maintain effectively.  Check them out following the Swobbit link, and look for the Blue Navy range under the headers Clean, Maintain or Protect. You’re sure to find that specific product you need!
