Canvas Care

Sunbrella

All tops and covers made of Sunbrella should be cleaned only as necessary. Simply brush off any loose dirt, then clean with a solution of natural soap and lukewarm water. Do not use detergents!! Rinse thoroughly to remove soap and allow to air dry.

In case of excessive dirt or stains, the material may be soaked briefly in a solution of 1/2 cup of non-chlorine bleach and 1/4 cup natural soap per gallon of water. Avoid soaking longer than approximately 20 minutes as this may damage the stitching in the canvas.

Should the material lose its water repellency, the manufacturer recommends using 303 Protectant. Use according to package instructions.

Clear Vinyl

All clear vinyl curtains should be regularly cleaned with soap and water, then polished with Pledge Furniture Polish. If the curtains have been exposed to salt water, hose them down while still hanging on the boat. This will help to avoid scratches caused by the salt crystals. Allow to air dry. Do not store curtains wet as this will cause a milky film to develop. Also, curtains should be rolled or folded in one direction only. Folding them in multiple directions will cause creases and distortions to occur.

Snaps and Zippers

To keep snaps functioning properly, occasionally lubricate with either ChapStick or Vasoline. This will prevent corrosion which can lead to snaps pulling out of the canvas. Occasionally apply Pledge Furniture Polish to zippers to keep them sliding smoothly.

Pledge Furniture Polish also works great on vinyl seats, dashes and even on fiberglass.

Just a little tender loving care will keep your canvas functioning properly and looking beautiful for years to come!!!
