Cleaning a boat cover
Minor Q: I have a custom fit cover that was quite expensive. Has a bunch of dirt and oil on it and I would like to scrub it / clean it. It's gray canvas. Before I ruin it or discolor it, what is everyone using to get stains out of their covers, get off the grime and grease and oil?
Laundry Detergent? Dish soap? Thanks. |
We used Marine 31 on cover and it worked great
|
I would try Simple Green and spray it on with a pump garden sprayer. Hang it on fence and do half at time. Use a scrub brush on stained areas.
After its dry, use Starbrite waterproofer sprayed on with the garden sprayer. |
Simple green. And spot soak the oil spot with dawn |
I've always used TOTALLY AWESOME from the dollar store. Works great!
|
I took mine to a place with large washing machines and dropped it off. They washed, dried, folded and bagged it. It looks brand new and cost me $60.00. This was for a 28ft boat cover. |
it will shrink and you will have to wet it to get it back on!
|
If it is made from Sunbrella fabric go to their website for washing instructions.

What about re-coating a cover that is custom made? I have a 1996 Four Winns U17 with a custom made cover. I had every seam in the cover re-sewn. It's red and the color is somewhat faded and I would like to restore it. Thanks
