Brush 'n Go Boat Hull Cleaning – About the Service
Brush ’n Go is a method recommended by the Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency (Tukes) and the Keep the Archipelago Tidy Association (Pidä Saaristo Siistinä ry). The toxin-free brush wash is suitable for keel-less boats under 10 meters, covering about 90% of the domestic boat fleet. Are you ready to switch to toxin-free boating? We are happy to answer all your questions and ready when you are.
Is Brush ’n Go Boat Hull Cleaning Suitable for My Boat?
The brush wash at our mobile stations is suitable for single-hulled boats under 10 meters long, a maximum of 3 meters wide, and weighing up to 3500 kg. Keel boats and shaft-driven boats are generally excluded from the service. Boats measuring 9–10 meters are assessed on a case-by-case basis, as washing feasibility depends on the waterline length and water level at each washing location. In these cases, please contact customer service at 020 767 0350. However, please note that there are no weight limits at floating stations, and depending on the hull shape, boats up to 12 meters can fit in the wash.
The wash is not suitable for boats painted during the same season or hulls treated with soft paints. A hard coating and brush washing are a winning combination!
What Substances are Used in the Boat Hull Cleaning?
Brush ’n Go boat hull cleaning is done without detergents or solvents. The mechanical brush wash effectively removes organisms and other impurities stuck to the boat hull — using only water.
Does the brush wash wear down the boat hull or equipment on it?
Brush ’n Go brush washing does not damage the boat hull or wear down its bottom treatment more than normal wear and tear. As a customer, you are responsible for any engines, devices, or other equipment on the hull and/or transom. These must be reported before washing begins.
Can I Get a Boat Hull Cleaning Without a Reservation?
The Brush ’n Go wash station operates according to a booking calendar, but situations vary. The duration of an individual wash always depends on the boat and hull dirtiness. When timing allows, washing is also possible without prior booking. You can inquire about availability on-site or by calling customer service at +358 20 767 0350.
