Cleaning bottom of boat

[brogsie]

I have an inflatable that I moored in salt water for a month. Now there are barnicles and cluck on the bottom of the boat. Any suggestions on cleaning it as I do not want to damage by scraping? Thanks

mmmm, sorry ... I would have thought you get it there too, sugar soap is a white, free flowing powder designed to be used as a mild detergent for the cleaning and preparation of plastered walls, etc. before the application of wallpaper / paint, etc.

I think you are referring to what we call TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) in the US.
