Cleaning Stubborn Stains
Soak fabric for approximately twenty minutes in
a mild solution consisting of no more than 1/2
cup (4 oz.) of bleach and 1/4 cup (2 oz.) of natural
soap per gallon of lukewarm water (not to exceed
100° F / 38° C).
Rinse thoroughly in cold water several times. Allow
the fabric to air dry completely.
Retreat the fabric using an air curing product such
as 303 High Tech Fabric Guard to ensure water and
stain repellency.
All canvas should be stored flat or rolled in a clean,
dry space.
Maintaining Zippers and Hardware
Lubricate zippers and fasteners periodically with a
clear silicone spray. In the absence of silicone spray,
a wax candle can be used to lubricate the zipper
track.
Replace any missing fasteners or any fasteners
showing signs of corrosion.
Cleaning Acrylic Windscreen
NOTICE
Never use a dry cloth or duster or glass cleaning
solutions on acrylic.
DO NOT use solvents such as acetone, silicone
spray, benzine, carbon tetrachloride, fire
extinguisher fluid, dry cleaning fluid, lacquer
thinner, glass cleaning solution or harsh
detergents on acrylic.
The above substances will attack the surface
of the acrylic.
• Rinse windscreen thoroughly with clear water
to remove any dust, dirt particles, salt water
or environmental agents before applying
cleaning products.
Use your bare hand, with plenty of water, to
feel and dislodge any stuck-on dirt or foreign
particles .
This should be done frequently to
avoid build up of salt water, dirt and
other environmental contaminants.
• Using a soft non-abrasive cloth, wash windows
inside and out with a mild soap (Woolite,
Joy, Palmolive, etc.) and water solution.
Rinse completely with cool water.
DO NOT USE DETERGENTS.
• Blot dry with a soft cloth or chamois to
prevent water spots.
The use of a polycarbonate protective cleaner/
restorer is recommended to keep your acrylic scratch
resistant, clean and minimize the deteriorating effects
of sunlight.
NOTICE
Failure to remove all of the soap solution can
cause deterioration of seams and prevent fabric
from proper retreating.
NOTICE
DO NOT use petroleum based products, such as
petroleum jelly, on the zippers or fasteners.
