Canvas maintenance

  • Stuck zippers on side curtains and zip-out windows can be eased open with a spray of silicone or rubbed sparingly with Teflon grease.  
  • Sticky snap fasteners will go on and off easier when coated with lip balm, a candle or crayon.  
  • When snap fasteners are corroded, clean them with bronze wool or a 3M Nylon Scotch Pad. Use a small screw driver inside the spring to loosen grit.  
  • Crud-encrusted canvas should be lightly scrubbed with warm, sudsy water. Rinse and hang to dry, then apply a waterproofing agent.  
  • To remove bird droppings, place a rag dipped in cooking oil over the spot. Keep covered until it loosens enough to be wiped up. This also works for squished bugs and tar spots on the hull.  
  • Bird droppings that are left for a long time can stain. On Weblon and Dacron, rub with Soft Scrub soap and rinse. Don't rub Sunbrella, which has a coating; just dab gently.  
  • Cement cleaner gets rust stains out of most canvas. Test first in an inconspicuous area to be sure it doesn't damage the fabric.  
  • To remove blood from canvas, apply a small amount of hydrogen peroxide to the stain and let soak for half an hour.  
  • When clear vinyl panels get stiff or hazy, coat them with Pledge.  
  • If your clear vinyl panels are scratched, polish them with a paste of 2 tablespoons each of glycerin, jeweler's rouge and water. Put it on a clean rag, rub into scratches and rinse.  
  • To remove stains from clear vinyl, try using a damp cloth dipped in water with baking soda. For a stubborn stain, rub a little toothpaste on it with your finger.
