The everyday upkeep of a yacht is time consuming work for both the deckhands and the stewards. The hospitality aspect of a steward's daily work regime is only the half of it, the rest is the daily housekeeping to ensure the yacht looks like a 5* hotel standard at all times. A stew's working day is long and laborious, but thanks to some cordless and time-saving technologies, we can help them be more efficient without compromising on standard. While the role of the deckhand is more hands-on, we've also included some window and deck cleaning devices to make their lives easier too.
Here's our guide to the must-have onboard cleaning supplies for every yacht.

Forget using Q-tips and toothbrushes to get into those tiny spaces, this sonic brush with detachable heads in various sizes is great for cleaning around taps, plug holes and other hard to reach areas. And no, it's not an electric toothbrush...

A couple of these scattered across different levels of the yacht will help you do a quick, thorough vacuum in no time. Forget fussing with chords, the high-suction and easy-change heads for both hard and carpeted floors mean running this through a yacht will be a breeze.

Clean and disinfect wood floors and tiles throughout the yacht in half the time as it would take a mop. No chemicals required, this steam cleaner is kind to surfaces and an ideal on-board cleaning utensil.

An easy time-saver that you can take in and out of storage each night.
