One of the best things you can do to maintain the
interior of your boat is to ventilate the cabin as often
as possible. Do not allow moisture to accumulate in
the boat's interior. Moisture leads to a damp, musty
environment, which encourages the growth of mildew.
Solid hardwood and hardwood veneer are used
throughout the interior of your boat. Treat this wood-
work like you treat your finest furniture. Dust it on a
regular basis using 3M Clean and Shine and a soft rag.
Do not use wax-based furniture polish or cleaner
containing abrasives.
Do not lay wet or damp towels or clothing on or
against the finished hardwood surfaces.
The interior woodwork was finished at the factory
with a special industrial/commercial grade finish. If
you need to refinish any woodwork, contact your
Carver Dealer to order the appropriate product.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the product
package when applying the finish.
High Pressure Laminate (HPL) is used on many of the
cabinet faces and counter tops inside your boat. HPL is
extremely durable and easy to clean. Clean the lami-
nated surfaces with a cleaner made for use on house-
hold counter tops. Avoid using the counter tops as
cutting surfaces. Cutting or slicing on the HPL surfaces
can permanently scratch them.
The woven fabrics used in your boat’s interior include
drapes, pillow shams, bed spreads, woven (fuzzy) head-
liners and sofa and barrel chair coverings. These fabrics
have been treated with a popular stain retardant prod-
uct. Even so, the fabrics still need periodic cleaning. To
care for the fabrics, refer to the cleaning recommenda-
tions in the following "Fabric Cleaning and Care"
insert. The insert also contains specific information on
removing certain types of stains. The treatment for
additional types of stains is described below.
Pencil Marks: Use a clean, white cloth and Westley’s
