How to Clean Jet Ski Rubber Foot Boards

Rubber is often used on water sports equipment because it is a strong, non-porous material that will not be damaged by extensive exposure to water, salt, algae or seaweed. Further, if rubber does trap dirt, dust and salty residue over time it can be easily lifted away at home with some basic cleaning materials. If the rubber foot boards on your jet ski are looking a little worse for wear, perform this simple task to have them sparkling as new again.
