Spider Poop

[John Bell]

One problem with keeping our boat in a covered slip is spiders, and more specifcally their poop. Those little buggers poop all over everything and nothing I've found will remove it. Vinyl upholstery is particularly tough to clean. Any ideas on how to remove spider poop?

I was going to suggest "GOO-Gone", the only stuff I've ever seen remove lake fly poop, magic marker, gum,etc. but, I think you might need POO-Gone. :D

You could remove the spiders with a power washer. ;)

In Ohio we've been infested with these little black ones with white spots. They jump and are lightning fast..... and bite! :eek:

Fantastic on vinyl ... and elbow-grease ... that's what I use.

Works fine ...

We've got those big, brown, fat spider ... about the size of a small dog ...

THANKFULLY they're not aggressive ... and I can just knock them away when necessary.

Vinegar cures everything.

Seagull deposits however...

Yes I had the same problem on the northern Chesapeake, kept my trawler in a shed for years and the spider poop was a major pain in the ass. The best product I've used is a product called Rolloff, it breaks it down instantly and you simply hose it off. A second runner up is Castrol cleaner sold at Pep Boys, you will need to dilute it a little with water befor use.
