Starke Simple Clean Multi-Purpose Cleaner
STARKE SIMPLE CLEAN — High-Alkaline Marine Multi-Purpose Cleaner
When Pure Clean or Ultra Clean isn't enough — Simple Clean is what you reach for.
Simple Clean is the heavy hitter in the Starke Clean System. A high-alkaline formula with penetrating agents that cuts through black streaks running down the hull, dirt rings on the waterline, heavy contamination on non-skid deck surfaces, dirty vinyl, and bilge buildup. The jobs a regular boat soap can't handle are exactly what Simple Clean was built for.
Two Ways to Use It
- Standalone heavy-duty cleaner: Apply full strength on problem areas, allow 3–5 minutes of dwell time, and let the alkaline chemistry work before rinsing.
- Wash amplifier: Add to your Pure Clean or Ultra Clean wash to increase cutting power when conditions call for more than routine maintenance — same wash routine, more muscle.
Professional Tip: Pad Restoration
Compounding pads caked with polishing residue? Apply Simple Clean full strength, soak for five minutes, then rinse. Pads come back to life — a money-saving technique that significantly extends the life of your pad investment.
Safety
Simple Clean carries a real hazard profile. Always use gloves, eye protection, and ensure good ventilation. Respect the chemistry.
