car wash and laundromat

Outdoorsman · 10-06-2015, 07:08 PM

Please tell me what laundromat you are using so I do not use it!

I do not need my laundry covered in your mildew/chemical induced soil!

Before you ask, ... for the same reason you can not wash horse blankets, etc. in most laundromat washers!

Really? Both those cleaners are very common household washing machine cleaners. Washing machines have a few rinse cycles for a reason. Yup, to flush out the dirt and cleaners. Sheesh.

What chemicals are you referring to? Basic laundry products did the job well.

(So I was drinking) power washing my deck and took aim at the boat, did the engines and hull and noticed that I was getting a little mold on the vinyl and decided to hit that area also, staying away from the electronics, looked at the carpet what the hell I’m in this deep and did that also (I have a inlay LUND in white letters on the floor) the carpet came out mint, fluffed up the pile in the carpet and the inlay looks brand new. I’ve had professional carpet cleaners do the boat (and the house) and the power washer did a much better job.

Power washers, especially the more powerful gas models, are the best tool in the tool box!

I also put my boat carpets on the pavement and wash them every year. To speed up drying I use the Bissel carpet shampoo machine to suck most of the water out of them and them leave them to dry out in the sun. I do the same thing with my car floor mats and they come out like new.

I just used my pressure washer to blast the graphics off of the side panels of an old pontoon boat. Great labor saver. In the spring I power wash the lawn. Fluffs it up after a long winter and blows the leaves into the woods.

Never thought of power washing the lawn. My wife would have the men white coats coming to take me away...

I had an easy solution to cleaning my carpet in my pontoon boat. I never had carpet put in.

Agreed. My Sea Ray came with snap in carpets. Immediately took them out and put them in storage. When I sell, they'll look new. No effort at all. And the non-skid deck just requires a hosing to be clean.
