Aside from the obvious dirt that can be found in the hull and topside of a watercraft, the other most noticeable part of a boat is its cushion and vinyl seat covers. May it be a stain, mildew buildup, spillage, or whatever it may be—the result is unquestionably unattractive and undesirable. Stains, being too apparent, automatically devalues and degrades the beauty of your investment.
For these reasons, vinyl seat cushions cleaning and maintenance are just as vital as cleaning the other parts of your boat. While marine vinyl fabrics are waterproof and are designed to withstand the rough elements of seawater, they are still susceptible to deterioration (such as fading or cracking) if not well-maintained. Proper vinyl upholstery cleaning, dirt removal, and leather conditioning can lengthen the material’s life and keep your vessel looking new.

Dont’s
❌ Never power-wash. While it is an effective method used for other parts of your boat, it is too intense and not ideal for vinyl upholstery.
❌ Avoid using bleaches. It can damage vinyl materials, reducing its life span.
❌ Move away from household cleaners and degreasers. They don’t serve the same function when applied to your home versus on marine vinyl material.
❌ Steer clear from magic erasers. They may remove your vinyl’s protective outer coating and anti-microbial components.
❌ Don’t even consider using gasoline. It’s hazardous, not environment-friendly, and smelly.
❌ Don’t settle for less. If you want excellent and experienced cleaners to do the work, Tampa Boat Detailing Pros is the company to call!
