About Our Products
We
formulate our cleaning products to work at least as well as commercially
available cleaners and to have a minimum impact on the plants and animals
in our environment. Our products do not contain unnecessary fragrances,
dyes, additives or fillers. They are concentrated, high quality and are
100% guaranteed.
For boat cleaning, we recommend the following products:
OXY-Boost Destainer and Deodorizer
Carpet-Free Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner
Clean & Free Concentrated Cleaner
Carpet & Vinyl or Fabric Upholstery
Carpet-Free (especially
when combined with OXY-Boost stain
remover) is a safe and effective cleaner for your boat.
Carpet-Free is a soy-based cleaner that removes soil and provides general cleaning of carpet and vinyl upholstery. It is free of ammonia, chlorine, fragrances, phosphates, dyes, and harsh petrochemicals. OXY-Boost breaks down and removes stains & odors caused by blood, fish guts, worm castings and other organic materials. It is safe on colors and on all surfaces except for wool and silk. When dissolved in hot water, it works by breaking down and removing organic matter.
Carpet-Free and Oxy-Boost are environmentally safe and biodegradable, leaving no toxic chemicals or fragrances behind in the water to harm fish or wildlife.
Directions for Cleaning Carpets and Upholstery:
- Add 2 ounces each of Carpet-Free and Oxy-Boost per gallon of hot water. Apply solution with a stiff-bristle brush. Rinse with hose if desired.
- To spot-clean
carpet or to clean vinyl upholstery, dilute 2 ounces of Carpet-Free per
gallon of water. Apply with a spray bottle or sponge. Blot with clean
white rag.
If uncertain of the item's colorfastness, test first on an inconspicuous area.

Livewells
OXY-Boost is
safe enough to use when cleaning your live well. It leaves behind no residue
and will not kill or harm your fish and/or bait.
Directions for Cleaning & Sanitizing Livewells:
- Empty live well of fish and water. Refill with the warmest water possible. Add 2-4 ounces (depending on size of well) of Oxy-Boost directly into well. If well is particularly dirty, wipe down the inside walls with a sponge or rag. Run pump to agitate and move the cleaning solution through the well. Continue running pump for 5-10 additional minutes until cleaning solution is rinsed out.
