Having the right cleaning products — not just soap and water, or even high-priced polishers and cleansers — is crucial, if you want to keep your boat in prime condition.Swobbit System's First Mate cleaning products — including cloths, deck brushes and mops — are heavy-duty enough for a big cleaning job, yet gentle enough not to produce any scratches.

When a shipment of First Mate products arrived in the mail, we took the opportunity (somewhat begrudgingly) to start cleaning.

The deck brush was very soft, but also thick, so it was able to cover large surfaces. First Mate deck brushes are available in extra soft, soft flagged, medium and stiff bristle types.

The telescoping handle fits a variety of deck brushes, mop heads and even a boat hook that Swobbit offers. The larger of the two available handles can be extended up to 9 feet.

The terrycloth microfiber towels were about as soft as any cloth and picked up dust well (we didn't realize that things had gotten so dusty around here).

Swobbit also manufactures a variety of other cleaning products, including a squeegee blade, wax applicators, wash mitts and hand brushes.

Prices start at $7.
