Certain automotive, household and industrial cleaners can

cleaning fluids, or products that contain dyes such as waxes,
should be used with caution. Whenever cleaning stubborn
stains, be sure to test the treatment in an unseen area first.
The following stain treatments should be used with discre-
tion. Between steps, be sure to rinse thoroughly with plenty

Carpet
Occasional washing with mild detergent and warm water or household
carpet cleaners will keep the carpet clean. Thoroughly hose the deter-
gent out of the carpet and into the bilge. This is usually the best time to
clean the bilge. Let the carpet dry in the sun to prevent any mildew or
odor caused by moisture.
