CLEANING PRODUCTS FOR BOATS...

Many of the products that we use in our homes are perfectly safe in that environment. On our boats, however, where cleaners are rinsed directly into the water without any treatment, the same cleaners can be lethal to marine life.

Captain John's Boat Brite ultimate cleaners offer YOU, the boating public a choice. Our cleaners are 100% non-toxic and phosphate-free and of course biodegradable.

AND THEY REALLY WORK WELL!!!!

Grease-cutting detergents, scouring powders and bleaches containing chlorine, ammonia and acids are extremely toxic to marine organisms. And many of the cleaners we find at our marinas and boat supply stores contain the same ingredients. If the label say's, "DO NOT GET INTO EYES", "HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED", "AVOID SKIN CONTACT" or any "WARNING", it's going to do damage to marine life, and to YOUR life.

When purchasing cleaners for your boat look for the words "non-toxic" and "phosphate-free" on the label.

"BIODEGRADABLE" sounds good but it doesn't mean that the product is non-toxic. Often, by the time a toxic chemical has "biodegraded" the damage to OUR waterways and to OURSELVES has been done.

"consider this... Most boats are cleaned weekly, some more,some less, but usually every week. We spray down the deck,or do a liberal pour into a bucket of our favorite cleaner,and proceed to clean. Then out comes the hose and off goes the dirt AND the cleaner you used - INTO THE WATER! If you're NOT using a cleaner that is NON-TOXIC AND PHOSPHATE-FREE, you've just contributed to the pollution of your favorite waterway.
AND when you look around and see hundreds of boats at their dock or out on the water and if they are being cleaned the same way and if your season is several months long - well it's easy to see how our boating playgrounds can get pretty messed up.

Hey, it's your choice, but if the Captain John's Boat Brite ultimate cleaners work as well as the "HARMFUL" brands, make the switch like many boaters have already done.

Several years ago the EPA introduced the "The National Clean Marina Program". This program was initially introduced to the "coastal waters" states but has grown substantially and now many states with closed Eco-system waterways have signed on. The National Clean Marina Program is available to all marinas in the participating states. The program is voluntary. The criteria for a marina to qualify as a "Clean Marina" is extensive and the marinas that have elected to become "Clean Marinas", and the patrons at these marinas are enjoying the results.
