Moring cover clean and repair?
Hi folks,
I'll be up at our place over on Ossipee for three weeks very soon. My boat mooring cover took a beating this past year and is in need of a good cleaning and seams resown. Any suggestions as to a good canvas repair place near the lakes? Oh, the boat is moored in Freedom so something this side of the big lake would help. Thanks ToW |

Ship Shape
I have had good luck with Rick & Ann at Ship Shape Marine works in Gilford.
Ann has this lifetime thread she used to re-sew canvas work I had done at Village Canvas that failed after just 2 years, where the zippers attach. She also did a great job on a complete camper pkg. on my wife’s Chaparral. And my wife is VERY picky about here baby. Lots of places out there, good luck.

Tired of waiting.
I'm also in Freedom. Last year I had a cover made for my wife's pontoon boat at Wards. They did an excellent job for a very fair price. Might be worth checking with them. |

Doing it yourself
Searched the internet and have a few ideas on how to clean a dirty/mildewed mooring cover. Any tried and true methods from the forum folks?

Dirty Mooring covers
I would use the big commercial washers at the Laundry Mart to wash my covers. I find the powdered detergent works much better than the liquid.
If you have mold/mildew problems, this method does a good job removing mold and mildew, however I have yet to find a product that will safely remove the spots. I would not dry the covers in a commercial dryer, I would hang it outside in the sun, less shrinkage. Any protectant will do a good job to water proof the canvas. For any repairs, Tom's Top & Trim is the best value. See you on the lake!

Iosso Mild and Mildew Stain Remover
I used this last summer to get the mold and spots of kiddie life jackets. It took a while, but every spot came out.
I followed the directions to make a paste and apply. I did that a few times and left it wet to get it all out. ... The product did not take the color out of the fabric. I am about to try it on the cotton placemats on my table.
