The Ultimate Guide to EVA Foam Flooring Care
Share
EVA foam flooring has become a popular choice for boaters thanks to its comfort, slip-resistance, and durability. However, to keep your flooring looking pristine and performing well, it requires regular care and attention. From cleaning up dirt and grime to applying protective layers, proper maintenance ensures your EVA foam flooring will serve you well for seasons to come. Here's your ultimate guide to cleaning, protecting, and maintaining your EVA foam flooring.
Step 1: Wet Flooring
Before you begin cleaning, start by wetting down your flooring with fresh water. This will help loosen any dirt or debris that’s settled on your flooring and make it easier to clean. It’s the first step in making sure your boat’s floor is ready for deeper cleaning.
Step 2: Apply Deck Clean
Next, apply AquaClean Deck Clean to your flooring. Deck Clean is a specially formulated marine flooring cleaner designed for use on all types of marine flooring, including EVA foam. It’s tough on dirt, grime, and salt, but safe for your boat’s surfaces.
Use a soft bristle brush or a microfiber cloth to scrub the cleaner into your flooring. Focus on any areas with stains, scum, or build-up. Deck Clean works by breaking down and lifting contaminants, leaving your flooring spotless and ready for protection.
Step 3: Rinse Thoroughly
After scrubbing, rinse your flooring thoroughly with fresh water to remove all traces of the cleaner and dirt. Make sure all residues are washed away so your flooring is completely clean before moving on to the next step.
Step 4: Apply Fabric Guard for Protection
Once your flooring is completely dry, it’s time to apply AquaClean Fabric Guard to protect your EVA foam flooring. Fabric Guard is specifically designed for fabric, EVA foam, and other marine surfaces to provide a protective layer that repels water, dirt, and stains.
Fabric Guard is also great for protecting marine upholstery, canvas, covers, and biminis. Apply it to any other fabric or surface you want to safeguard from the elements.
Allow the Fabric Guard time to fully dry before using your boat again. This ensures that the protectant bonds properly to your flooring and fabrics, giving them the best possible defense against the elements.
Routine Maintenance
For ongoing maintenance, use Deck Clean to clean your flooring as needed. If you notice any small spots or stains, you can do a quick spot clean with Deck Clean! Just spray the affected areas, scrub gently, rinse, and your flooring will look as good as new.
As part of your maintenance routine, re-apply Fabric Guard when needed, especially in high-traffic areas. This ensures your flooring stays protected and continues to resist stains and dirt throughout the season.
