Scrubbing/Cleaning

Anti-fouling, even so-called hard anti-fouling

paints, are generally softer when immersed.

Scrubbing can remove even good paint, so

never scrub anti-fouling roughly,

• Wipe down with a soft sponge if slime is building up and take care if your anti-foling is an ablative or self-polishing type, as you will more easily remove good paint, which will reduce the lifetime of the system.
  
• If you have a rather heavy build up that is resistant to being removed with a sponge, try using a green or grey Scotch-Brite pad. If you need something more, brushing maybe required.
• With hard types or anti-fouling paint, the active materials leach from within the paint outwards. Therefore the top layer of paint is likely to have a reduced biocide content towards the latter part. A gentle scrub around 6 to 9 months may help to remove this layer and assist in retaining performance if the product appears to be building up a level of fouling growth.
