Welcome to the Piper Boat Owners club Forum. The Forum for owners of Piper built Narrowboats and Barges and anyone interested in Piper Boats. The owners club is completely separate from Piper Boats. Please feel free to post a message to club members and web site readers.
I'd just add: make sure your door and vents are all closed and then brush down from outside to in, that way most of the crud ends up in the box rather than on the roof! If you slide a plastic bag over the wire handle you can pull the brush into the bag when you've finished.
