Cleaning Non-Skid Decks

[GypsyHawk]

My painted non slip decks are looking tired and dirty. The finish is Sterling linear polyurethane paint with anti-skid grit. The smooth surfaces still polish up okay. Can anyone tell me the best way of cleaning the non slip surfaces please? Thanks.

This works good for me ....Star brite - Catalog - Product Detail

I use a very stiff plastic-bristle brush and whatever general purpose cleaner I happen to have lying around, provided said cleaner isn't incompatible with my Interlux enamel. The all-purpose stuff sold by the gallon for cleaning bathrooms seems to work well; I'm too much of a cheapskate to buy soap at the boat store.

west marines Spray Nine is incredible . I've used all the cleaners from home depot lowes etc and was ok. Then someone suggested I try this stuff and wow.It took grime off that i didnt think was there. Deck looked new again. Caution though extremely slippery to walk on. Of course I throw on some old socks and some music to clean my deck

Have used Starbrite deck cleaner with ptef(protective coating?) to clean non skid...but anything else out there that will seal the aging porous non skid (not painted) that is not slippery?

I use plain old SoftScrub and a soft deck brush. This way the paint does not get microscratches and hold even more dirt.

There is no sort of sealer that I know of that will hold up for very long.
