How does everyone clean their mid bilge? I took a picture and I see a lot of black. It’s hard to clean it through that small access under the aft bed.

    @aero3113 is going to provide a materials and step by step procedure for this as soon as he sees it.

    LoL!
    I would use a toilet brush and the best bilge cleaner you can find. You’ll probably need to extend the handle on the brush. Hose, scrub and vacuum it out a few times. Then for the final step, spray it down with some Mold Armor brush it in (use a clean brush) let it sit for a half hour then rinse/vacuum out.

    I agree with aero's steps, but for bilge cleaner, just use Purple Power.  & yes, afterwards, use the Home mold armor you can buy at home depot.

    Pressure washer would clean that up real quick if you can articulate the nozzle in there.

    I pretty much just use toilet brush and Simple Green.
    @PickleRick, I read your post, laughed, then sure enough, here it comes…

    If you can't find good bilge cleaner or are like me, too impatient to wait,  cheap store brand bathroom cleaner with bleach. 

    Walmart, dollar general, family dollar, dollar tree...etc

    I spray on, scrub in.  Wash off before it dries.  Repeat if necessary. 

    Will also work on monkey fur headliner although try in small spot to verify bleaching won't occur. 

    @aero3113 probably has that bilge on his checklist!  His cleaning and maintenance is beyond excellent.   Pretty sure him and @LaRea have a contest to see who keeps the most waxed surfaces on their boats.

    Scrubb’n Bubbles with Bleach is the winner

    Thank you for all the helpful comments. I’ve been putting some of that starbrite bilge cleaner but I really need to scrub it. How do you get a brush into that small opening under the bed mattress? What do you guys think about the cleaner Gone in 30sec? I use it on the non skid and it works awesome.
