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 indus-
trial/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.
7.3.2 High Pressure Laminate
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 laminated surfaces with a cleaner made for use on
household counter tops. Avoid using the counter tops as cutting surfaces.
Cutting or slicing on the HPL surfaces can permanently scratch them.
7.3.3 Fabrics
The fabrics used in your boat’s interior include drapes, pillow shams, bed
spreads, woven headliners, and some sofa and chair coverings. Some of
these fabrics have been treated with a stain protector. All of the fabrics
require periodic cleaning. For best results, have the fabrics dry cleaned.
For furniture upholstered in Ultraleather, refer to the OEM information
for details on cleaning this material.
7.3.4 Carpet
The carpet used on the interior of the boat has been treated with a stain
protector. Even so, the carpet still needs periodic cleaning. Care for the
carpet as you would care for the carpet in your home. Vacuum it often
and shampoo it as needed using a carpet shampoo.
When your boat is new, the carpet sheds and needs to be vacuumed
frequently. This is normal. The shedding stops after a few weeks.
7.3.5 Interior Fiberglass
Some of your boat’s interior components, such as the shower stalls and
stateroom berth platforms, are made of gelcoated fiberglass. Interior
fiberglass can be cleaned with any household cleaner that has been made
for cleaning fiberglass. Many of these types of cleaners are marketed as
“tub and tile” cleaners. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the interior
fiberglass surfaces. Abrasive cleaners scratch and dull the shiny gelcoat
surface.
