CARPET COCKPIT TYPICAL
Regal cockpit carpets feature an aqua tread backing
which permits the carpet to weep moisture and still re-
tain steadfast non-slip characteristics. Also, this back-
ing permits the cockpit carpet to lay at on the ber-
glass deck surface without buckling.
Also, your cockpit carpet is produced with 100% ultra-
violet resistant bers.
of resilient bers to withstand tra c and retain its beau-
ty.
Cockpit carpet is designed to take a lot of abuse from
the sun and sea but it periodically needs to be cleaned
which is a di erent procedure from household types.
To clean cockpit carpet follow these steps:
1. Scrub the soiled areas with a sti nylon or so bristle
brush to loosen the dirt and grime.
2. Vacuum the carpet thoroughly using a wet-dry type
of cleaner.
3. Pour one cup white vinegar into a 1-quart spray bot-
tle; ll with water.
4. Spray the soiled areas with the vinegar solution until
saturated; let stand 15 minutes.
5. Brush the soiled areas once more; the dirt and grime
will be released from the carpet bers.
6. Rinse the carpet, with a garden hose at low pressure.
7. Remove any remaining water with a wet-dry vacuum.
Allow the carpet to dry completely.
8. Flu up the clean, dry carpet with the brush or a car-
pet rake. If applicable, apply vaseline to the snaps.

Stain Removal
Ole n ber used in the cockpit carpet is very resistant
to stain. However, when a stain does occur, follow the
stain removal chart below. Remember to remove a stain
as soon as possible as this enhances the ability to elimi-
nate it.
Most stains should easily be removed from Ole n -
bers. If the stain persists, the cleaning procedure should
be repeated to ensure stain removal. Again, the sooner
the stain removal process is started, the easier the stain
will be to remove.
Under no circumstances should any solvents normally
associated with the dry cleaning of apparel (perchlor-
ethylene, carbon tetrachloride, etc,) be utilized, as per-
manent damage to the ber will result.
