I typically use Woodys Wax and sometimes Starbrite boat wash. Still trouble getting blood stains off the deck. Don't want to put any bleach in the boat but struggling to find a good cleaner for the tough stuff.

I use Starbrite Non Skid Deck Cleaner. I wash the boat with Simple Green and a stiff brush.. I am going to buy a compact Pressure Washer to keep in the dock box. I was amazed at the job it did on a friends boat. Just use a 40degree spray nozzle other wise is will mess up the gel coat.

I went through dozens of cleaners specifically trying to find obe that would take care of fish blood stains. When i found bar keepers friend in the powder form i have never went back to any other product. No hard scrubbing needed. Most of the time i just have to wet the deck cover the spots with the powder and let sit for about 5 minutes. The light stuff will rince right off without wiping and the harder stuff usually just wipes right off. Very seldom do i have to scrub anything and when i do it is very softly. Never any hard scrubbing needed. It will also bring your stainless on the boat back to near factory finish. Great stuff and super cheap. Can get it about anywhere. I isually get it at the dollar general up the street

Orpine for the hull. Does a great job of getting all the salt off. Star Brite non skid cleaner for the deck. After a few uses it makes a big difference in washing off blood.

I second the bar keepers friend. Have fished with several people over the years that use it. Plain old boat soap for general cleaning and bar keepers for the tough stuff.

Starbrite Non Skid Deck Cleaner work best for me. Make sure to wash the blood off with your wash down system. When it drys not sure anything will work other than elbow grease.

Barkeepers Friend is an acid...I try not to use acids any more than necessary. Orpine for general washing, clorox clean up and oxi-clean for stains. Woody Wax applied around every other trip, but biggest thing is washing as you go. Once stuff dries it gets hard to get up.

I'm using Turtle Wax Car Wash and make it at the stronger mix. Stuff is pretty good and has a reasonable price. It doesn't make the deck slick, but leaves the hull nice and shiny.
I still need to scrub the leaf and blood stains. The wash one remove that. Other stuff....yes.

Starbrite PTEF deck cleaner.
If I need to use Clorox on a bad stain I'll be sure to use woody wax afterwards as it'll strip off any protection.
Use orpine as well but I prefer the starbrite stuff for the deck.
As has been said, used your raw water water and clean as you go, makes the world of difference.
Hardest thing to clean up is the dark water stains from the river/waterway.

I always go to the car wash after using boat. Do the presoak then pressure wash off. Works great on hull/deck and sometimes do starbrite on the deck afterwards.

Goof off is amazing for getting up stains and blood it is a little harsh but it will make life a lot easier. Spray on with a round up sprayer brush it in rinse off.

I second the Awesome from Dollar General, works really good on about everything. I will use Wink on tough blood stains or rust but have be really careful with it.

I use the cheap-a** Star Brite they sell at Wal-Mart (blue bottle, says Boat Wash. Smells like blueberry bubble gum), a good deal of elbow grease.
Barkeepers friend for anything tough like rust. Some people mix it in a bucket with water, but I feel like it works best when you have the lowest ratio of water possible while still keeping it wet. I just spray the area enough for the stuff to stick, dump a little on, and clean with a hand or tooth brush.

Speaking of pressure washers....I have several, one heavy duty at home 11hp Honda, a cheapo electric......BUT I saw one I want to try out on the boat while fishing....the worx battery operated hydroshot...throw the siphon in the livewell and shoot the blood off and toss it in the cabin....You can connect a 2 liter coke bottle with fresh water to it...several options but looks interesting ...maybe worth a try..

Magic Erasers works wonders for smaller areas like blood stains, tough shoe scuffs and rust stains early on. Polishes aluminum and stainless nicely as well.

"The Works" by Clorox is a toilet bowl cleaner that has removed ANY stain I have had on my boat. Use caution, read the warnings and directions, rubber gloves and eye protection. Store away from children. It is extremely strong, but will do the job. I only use it to get the tough stains that other, safer products will not get.

Haven't had any stain Clorox would not remove. I did recently purchase some Booyah Hull cleaner, https://www.booyahclean.com/products/booyah-instant-hull-cleaner?variant=23278157830 to try on the bottom. Its non acid and can be used while the boat is on the trailer. I haven't had a chance to use it.

I have always used Dawn dw detergent, or Wisk laundry
detergent both will cut grease, and fish slime. Last, I will
give it a spray down with diluted clorox for a disinfectant treatment. This has worked for me for many years, and
always available. For my wife's sake, I clean up any blood
after the fish go in the box.

I use bleach and water. Spray on and let it sit. Spray it off and that's it.
