UPHOLSTERY

Cockpit vinyl- requires periodic cleaning to maintain a
neat appearance and to prevent the build up of dirt and
contaminants that may stain and reduce the vinyl life if
they are not removed. The frequency of cleaning depends
on the amount of use and conditions to which the vinyl
is subjected.
Most common stains can be cleaned using warm, soapy
water and clear rinses. Scrubbing with a soft bristle brush
will help loosen soiled material from embossed surfaces
and under welting. If the stains are not removed with the
above method use a mild cleaner such as Fantastic. This
cleaner should be used only as needed and not the nor-
mal means.
With more stubborn stains, rubbing alcohol or mineral
spirits may be tried cautiously. Widespread solvent use
can severely damage or discolor vinyl.
Try to remove stains immediately before they have a
chance to penetrate the surface of the vinyl.
Powdered abrasives, steel wool, or industrial strength
cleaners are not recommended for cleaning our vinyl.
Lacquer solvents will cause immediate damage. Dilute
chlorine bleach before using. Do not wax the vinyl as it
may cause cracking. Always wear protective gloves and
make sure there is sufficient ventilation when cleaning
vinyl. Wear eye protection.
Remember that suntan oil will damage vinyl. Use suntan
lotion instead of suntan oil. Exposure to the sun is a
natural enemy of vinyl upholstery. For maximum life, use
a cockpit cover when the vessel is moored, docked or
stored.
