Pontoon Top cleaning

SOB · 02-08-2009, 03:43 PM

Hi All,

quick question, I have a Bennington 2075 GL Pontoon boat. This will be my second season with the boat. End of last year I took the Biminni top down and broght the canvas home with me.. laid it out in the yard to let the spiders who called it home take off.

I cleaned it and it came out pretty good, I laid it back out to dry out. However fall came too quick and ended up with some leaves on it, they ended up staining the fabric..

Anyone have any good ideas for how to clean it off?? Any good products you suggest. Its a bright yellow fabric, if that makes a difference.

Appreciate any ideas/suggestions.

I'd try leaving it in the sun. Most pigments are not UV resistant and will fade in the sun.

SOB, if it is like the awning material on my camper try "Awesome" from the dollar store with a little bit of bleach added. Spray it on, brush (I use a long handled brush) and rinse very well.
