| I just want to know what you guys do or use to clean your carpet in your boat.
I friend told me to use a pressure washer but I don't think that is a very good idea, or is it?
thanks

Location: Pelican Lake/Three Lakes Chain | I do exactly as your friend suggested. I take it to the local carwash, run a prewash cycle, soap it down, and then rinse. Comes out looking good as new. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | If it's badly stained, use a carpet cleaning solution and a broom on wet carpet, let it soak, and THEN hit it with the car wash. New. |

I clean my carpets alot...I buy a can of foaming carpet cleaner and spray down the carpet. Obviously hitting the stains and high traffic areas harder. Let it set in for a few minutes (5-10) and then take it to the car wash and spray it out. Make sure you get all the stuff out of the carpet and take out your drain plug. When I am done I take my big wet/dry vac and suck out all the water. Takes about a half hour, but it makes the carpet look good as new!!!

Location: north central wisconsin | While we are on the subject, what do you glass boat owners use for hull cleaner and wax/sealant. I used to use some pretty abrasive stuff with my old boat, but want to be more careful with this one. Also, fishing the WI River/Petenwell will challenge the finish often and I'd like a good wax that will allow me to keep the thing clean with ease. Thanks!! |

Location: Davenport, IA | For real tough spots try SD-20...I've cleaned a lot of carpets and SD-20 followed up by a shampooer will get rid of most stains. It doesn't help a lot with pet hair though. |

Location: north central wisconsin | Thanks Skeeter! Is the restre a wax or polish? i have heard not to use wax but to use a polish, which won't leave as many swirl or buff marks. Didn't have to worry about it on the brown streak, as I just used a wire brush once a year...
