• Prepare a cleaning solution by mixing water and mild soap and spraying it onto the stain.
• Rinse the fabric carefully to remove all soap residue.
• Let it air dry.

Care for Boat Protective Fabrics

Protective fabrics are designed to be resistant and durable. Nevertheless, it is important to care for fabrics regularly - on both the coated inside and the textile outside, because even though the coated inside may look clean, washing removes the fungal spores that are conducive to the growth of mould. Here's how to care for them with a quick and easy wash:

• Brush the fabric regularly to remove dirt.
• Dampen the fabric with a cold jet of water.
• Prepare a mixture of soap and water.
• Rub the fabric with the preparation using a soft brush.
• Leave it to work on the fabric.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water until the cleaning solution is completely removed.
• Let it air dry.
