The following are typical stains and cleaning
tips for interior marine vinyl:
• Dry soil, dust and dirt, dried on dirt - Remove
with a soft cloth. Wash with a soft cloth or
nylon brush dampened with water.
• Variations in surface gloss - Wipe with a
water dampened soft cloth and allow to air
dry.
• Stubborn dirt - Wash with a soft cloth or soft
nylon brush dampened with Ivory Soap® and
water. Rinse with clean water.
• Stubborn spots and stains - Spray with
Tannery Car Care Cleaner® and rub with a
soft cloth. Rinse with clean water.
• Liquid spills - Wipe immediately with a clean
absorbent cloth. Rinse with clean water.
• Food grease and oily stains - Spray
immediately using Tannery Car Care Cleaner®,
wiping with a soft cloth. Take care not to
extend the area of contamination beyond its
original boundary. Rinse with clean water.
Additional Warnings for Vinyl Fabrics
• Detergents should not be used on a regular or
repeated basis for normal cleaning.
• Powdered abrasives, cleaners containing
abrasives, steel wool and industrial strength
cleaners are not recommended for vinyl.
• Any lacquer solvent will cause immediate,
irreparable damage to the vinyl.
• Wax should never be used on any vinyl
upholstery, as it will cause premature
embrittlement and cracking.
• Dilute chlorine bleach before using. Never use
at full strength.
• If flammable solvents such as alcohol,
turpentine or varsol are used for cleaning, then
only small quantities should be employed in a
well ventilated area. Exercise proper care by
advising any personnel in the area and keep
away from any ignition source. Always wear
protective gloves.
Marine Interior Fabrics
Spot clean only with water based shampoo or foam
upholstery cleaner. Pretest a small, inconspicu-
ous area before proceeding. Do not over wet. Do
not use solvents to spot clean. Pile fabrics may
require brushing with a nonmetallic, stiff bristle
brush to restore appearance.
Note: Water extraction or steam cleaning is
not a recommended cleaning method.
Cushion covers should not be removed
and laundered.
To prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming or
light brushing with a nonmetallic, stiff bristle brush
to remove dust and grime is recommended. When
cleaning a spill, blot immediately to remove spilled
material. Clean spot or stains from the outside to
the middle of the affected area to prevent cir-
cling.
Use a professional furniture cleaning service when
an overall soiled condition has been reached.
Canvas and Side Curtains
Acrylic (Sunbrella) canvas should be rinsed fre-
quently with clear, fresh water and cleaned peri-
odically by using a mild soap and water. Scrub
lightly and rinse thoroughly to remove the soap.
Do not use detergents. The water should cold or
luke warm, never hot. Scrub with a soft brush
and rinse thoroughly. Allow to air dry.
The top or accessories should never be folded or
stored wet.
After several years, the acrylic canvas may lose
some of its ability to shed water. If this occurs,
wash the fabric and treat it with a commercially
available water proofing designed for this purpose.
Monterey recommends 303 High Tech Fabric Guard.
To apply waterproofing, wash the canvas and al-
low it to dry completely. Then apply a thin, even
coat of waterproofing, allowing the first coat to
air dry. Apply a second coat for increased pro-
tection.
Note: Some leakage at the seams is normal
and unavoidable with acrylic enclo-
sures.
Side curtains and clear connectors can be cleaned
with mild soap and water. They should not be
