ELECTRIC DECK SCRUBBER

[maybh1]

Has anyone tried an Electric Motorcleaner/Scrubber to get their teak decks back into shape?

I have ordered a Motor Scrubber MS1000 with an 8" head. We have tiles throughout the downstairs at home so it will be great for that but it also says on the blurb that it is suitable, amongst many other things, for cleaning wood. It also specifically says it is suitable for boat cleaning.

I was thinking of giving the teak decks a scrub with it at the weekend as they are looking a bit green at the moment and have ordered the head to do that job but would appreciate any feedback from anyone who has tried it, or something similar, already.

Anything to save the hours and hours of back breaking scrubbing I ended up doing last year. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

While we're waiting for him, here's the Gospel according to Saint Matt.

Thank you - looks like St Matt would not use an electric scrubber then /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Be careful not to remove too much teak, they are very efficient. Have used them many times on superyachts and they save time and elbow grease, just be very careful not to ruin the teak.

DO NOT SCRUB them. Send the scrubber back and get a mop or a sponge. Read the tcm blurb and follow his directions.
