Why The Boat Cleaner?

Because you want to enjoy your dock, your boat, without the un-sightly nuisance of sharing your boating pleasure with seagulls and pigeons.

But the birds always come back....

Not necessarily... Research has shown that once The Boat Cleaner is applied in a season, the birds are 50% likely to come back to their ‘dropping’ grounds. They don’t like the residue (clean looking polish) that is left after you rinse. TBC leaves an alkaline base residue (organic matter) where the birds prefer acidic platforms to perform their business. TBC’s ph level is 8.3. Birds prefer surfaces with a neutral Ph of 7 or slightly less as fresh water lakes are typically between 6-7 on the Ph scale. TBC is NOT acidic. 

Why not ‘chemical’ cleaners?

Great question. The most popular bird dropping removers are based on powerful chemicals that may work short-term but they don’t do the two things that The Boat Cleaner does a) removes droppings in an environmentally friendly way b) leaves an alkaline coating, discouraging the birds from coming back. Take that chemical cleaners.

Chemical cleaners work short term, but within the week your birds will be back, and so will their residue. Meaning good business for the chemical producers and distributors - Meaning reapplication after reapplication for you. Not something you want to be doing on your relaxing weekend at the lake. The Boat Cleaner, in sharp contrast, was developed specifically for boat owners who are fed up with the constant up keep and maintenance to keep their boats, boat covers and patio furniture clean and clear of birds and bird droppings. 

How fast can I remove the droppings? 

Spray The Boat Cleaner on the effected area and let sit 3 minutes. Then simply spray off residue with a hose or rinse with a bucket. That simple. No painful scrubbing and getting the poo on you.

Will The Boat Cleaner save me time?

Say each time you visit your boat you spend an average of an hour cleaning seagull droppings. You go on your boat 20 times a summer. Can you afford to wasting 20 hours doing unnecessary cleaning when you would rather be with your children or on your boat?

Many of the most popular seagull removal systems involve application of tacky and ugly poles, tapes object that obstruct your usability of your area as well as costing more than $500 for the application.
