Canvas Cleaner

[olygirl]

We have a full canvas enclosure on our R29 which, for whatever reason, had become extremely mold ridden. We clean it on a regular basis but just couldn't prevent the mold this year and it was so bad that we considered the fact that we might have to purchase all new canvas. Then we found a business on Bainbridge Island, WA that cleans canvas called Clean Sails. We took our canvas to them with hopes they could at least get some of the mold out and when we picked it up we couldn't believe how clean it was! It looked like new! Clean Sails worked a miracle! So if any of you out there are looking for someone to bring your dirty canvas back to life we highly recommend Clean Sails! You can find pricing and other info at their website, www.cleansails.com

Hi Olygirl,
We also have an R29 with a full canvas enclosure around the cockpit, and I just found your post about Clean Sails. How has the cleaning held up? Any issues, or still pretty positive outcome? I'm thinking of having them clean ours also. I'm not sure what cleaning solution they use (it sounds like they soak them), and I just want to make sure it's OK for the Sunbrella and the isinglass/strataglass vinyl windows.
