Salt-Away: A Smarter Way to Remove Salt From Your Boat and Marine Gear

Saltwater is part of the boating experience, but salt residue does not have to become part of your maintenance routine. Left behind on boats, trailers, fishing gear and other equipment, salt crystals can build up over time and leave surfaces looking dull, rough or difficult to clean.

Salt-Away is a water-based, non-hazardous, biodegradable salt remover designed to dissolve, release and wash away salt accumulation. It can be used on metals, fibreglass, paint, rubber, plastic, chrome, glass, concrete, brick and other salt-exposed surfaces, making it a practical addition to a regular after-use clean.

Why salt removal matters after a day on the water

Rinsing with fresh water is a good first step, but salt can remain in seams, around fittings and on exposed surfaces after the visible water has gone. Repeated salt exposure is especially hard on marine equipment, where spray, humidity and drying cycles can leave a stubborn residue behind.

Salt-Away works by breaking apart and removing salt accumulation with repeated use. Mixed with water, it washes the salt away and leaves a protective film on surfaces. The result is a simple way to make salt removal part of your normal boat-care routine, rather than waiting until residue has built up.

Which Salt-Away product is right for you?

For regular boat and equipment maintenance: 0.95 L concentrate

The 0.95 L Salt-Away Concentrate is a compact choice for boat owners who want concentrated product on hand for routine cleaning. It is a good fit when you already have your preferred way to mix and apply solution.

For a ready-to-use smaller job: 473 mL spray

The 473 mL Salt-Away Spray is ready to use and handy for smaller jobs, spot cleaning and keeping in the boat, vehicle or shed. It is the simplest option when you want to spray, wipe or rinse without preparing a larger batch.

For convenient application: 0.95 L concentrate with mixer unit

The SA32MI kit combines 0.95 L of concentrate with a 177 mL Mixing Unit. It is a useful all-in-one starting point for boat owners who want both the concentrate and the dedicated mixing hardware in one purchase.

For larger or more frequent cleaning: 3.79 L concentrate

The 3.79 L Salt-Away Concentrate is the practical choice when you clean regularly, maintain more than one salt-exposed item or simply want a larger supply available in the workshop.

For replacing or adding the application hardware: 177 mL Mixer Unit

The 177 mL Salt-Away Mixer Unit is available on its own for customers who already have concentrate and need the dedicated mixing unit for application.

How to build Salt-Away into your clean-up routine

1. Start after salt exposure. Use Salt-Away as part of your post-boating or post-saltwater clean-up, before residue has had time to become a bigger maintenance problem.
2. Choose the application method. Use the ready-to-use spray for smaller jobs, the Mixer Unit for convenient application, or a pressure washer where appropriate for larger areas.
3. Apply to salt-exposed surfaces. Salt-Away is suitable for a broad range of materials, including metal, fibreglass, paint, rubber, plastic, chrome, glass, concrete and brick.
4. Rinse and repeat as needed. Mixed with water, the solution washes away salt and repeated use helps tackle salt accumulation.
5. Follow the product label. Use the product according to its label directions and test an inconspicuous area first when working on an unfamiliar or delicate finish.

More than a boat cleaner

Although Salt-Away is a natural fit for boats, it can also be used on trailers, fishing equipment, marine accessories, vehicles, outdoor surfaces and other items exposed to salt. Its broad surface compatibility makes it useful beyond the deck, especially for anyone living near the coast or regularly working around saltwater.

Make salt removal the easy part of boat ownership

The best maintenance routine is the one you will actually use. Keep a spray bottle for quick jobs, choose concentrate for regular cleaning, or start with the SA32MI kit if you want a straightforward application setup.
