Routine Maintenance
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 Tan-
nery 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 immedi-
ately using either Fantastik Cleaner® or Tan-
nery 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, ir-
reparable damage to the vinyl.
• Wax should never be used on any vinyl uphol-
stery, as it will cause premature embrittlement
and cracking.
• Dilute chlorine bleach before using. Never use
at full strength.
• If flammable solvents such as alcohol, tur -
pentine 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.
Notice:
Water extraction or steam cleaning is not
a recommended cleaning method. Cushion
covers should not be removed and laun-
dered.
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 circling.
Use a professional furniture cleaning service when
an overall soiled condition has been reached.
Marine Exterior Vinyl Upholstery with
PreFixx® Coating
Monterey Boats uses OMNOVA white, smoother and
embossed pleated vinyl material with PreFixx top
coating. All other accent embossed white and col-
ored vinyl requires different care and maintenance.
PreFixx Cleaning Instructions
PreFixx is engineered so that upholstery can be
cleaned again and again without showing signs
of wear. With easy cleanablility, proven stain
and abrasion resistance, PreFixx protective fin -
ish can reduce maintenance costs and frequent
reupholstery.
Durability
Creates a barrier that resists stains from penetrat-
ing to the surface of the vinyl for proven, long-
lasting protection. With laboratory-tested stain
resistance and improved wear properties, BoltaS-
oft® upholstery treated with PreFixx protective
finish can retain a “like-new” appearance longer.
Easy Maintenance
Enables most common stains like dirt and smudg-
es to wipe off easily. Many difficult stains like ball -
point ink also can be cleaned with active solvents,
such as nail polish remover, without damaging
the PreFixx protective finish (when recommended
cleaning instructions are followed).
Normal Care and Cleaning
Remove ordinary dirt and smudges with a mild
soap and water solution and a clean, soft cloth
or towel. Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth or towel.
