Description

STARKE Pure Clean is the foundation of the STARKE Clean System — a premium pH-neutral boat soap for safe maintenance washing that will not strip waxes, sealants, or coatings.

Proprietary blend of anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants (roughly 25–35% concentrate) with a coconut scent. Wash-media testing confirms pH-neutral soap plus a microfiber mitt preserves ceramic hydrophobics far better than aggressive brushes and harsh soaps.

  • pH 7–9 (neutral to mildly alkaline) — coating- and wax-safe
  • Will not strip waxes, polymer sealants, or ceramic coatings
  • Coconut scent; foam cannon, bucket, or spray
  • Foam cannon: 1–2 oz per gallon (about 1:10–1:15)
  • Bucket wash: 1–3 oz per gallon (about 1:20–1:30)

How to use: Pre-rinse — apply top to bottom — allow 30–60 seconds dwell — rinse thoroughly — dry with microfiber. Prefer a microfiber mitt on smooth gelcoat; soft blue brush only if needed. After Salt Clean in saltwater service, follow with Pure Clean for a complete wash.

Safety: Concentrate can be alkaline (SDS notes higher concentrate pH) — wear eye protection and gloves. No acute hazard classification in normal use.

Available sizes: as listed on variants

Pair with: Salt Clean, Ultra Clean (heavier detox), Hyper Hold Pro or ceramic + Replenish maintenance.
