Canvas Care (see also ‘Clear Vinyl Care’ on next page)
•
After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse the canvas with cold freshwater.
•
Before stowing, let the canvas air-dry completely.
•
The canvas can be rolled or folded for stowage.
Cleaning the Canvas
Regularly clean the canvas to prevent dirt, pollen, and etc. from embedding in the fabric. Generally, it is easiest to
wash the canvas while it is installed on your boat.
•
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove all dust and loose dirt.
1. Hose down the canvas with freshwater.
2. Gently wash the canvas with a solution of lukewarm water (no more than 100° F) and non-detergent soap, such
as Lux or Ivory Flakes.
3. Rinse thoroughly to remove the soap.
4. Before stowing, let the canvas dry completely.
Stubborn Stains
Some stubborn stains may resist normal washing and you can try the methods below. However, these methods may
remove the waterproof finish of the fabric and may also decrease the life of the polyester thread used in the canvas.
Reapply a water repellent treatment as needed.
Method 1
1. Add 1/8 cup (2 oz.) of non-chlorine bleach to one gallon of water and mix thoroughly.
2. Thoroughly wet the canvas and then gently scrub the stained area with the weak bleach solution.
3. Rinse with cold water to remove all of the solution.
Method 2
1. Add 1/2 cup (4 oz.) of non-chlorine bleach and 1/2 cup (4 oz.) Ivory Flakes to one gallon of water and
mix thoroughly.
2. Soak the canvas in this solution for about 20 minutes.
3. Rinse with cold water to remove all of the solution.
NEVER use detergents when washing the canvas. Detergents can destroy the water repellency,
and mildew/UV resistant finish of your canvas.
