Location: Kronenwetter, WI | This weekend I washed the boat and took the advice of the power washer with general cleaner drawn in for suds. Here's what I did:
1. With a stiff bristled scrub brush brushed against the grain of carpet to draw it up
2. Vacuumed carpet.
3. Power washed carpet with suds.
4. Power washed carpet w/o suds (rinsed).
5. Shop-vacuumed carpet again.
This is an clean as the carpet has been since I bought the boat new 4 years ago. The amount of dirt in the water was pretty amazing. The nap is up, but it will never get back to new again. I'm guessing in about 10 years I will purchase new carpeting--The rear part of the boat has a stitched edging all they way around the floor. I'm thinking could order new from Ranger and reinstall myself---the deck and compartment covers in the rear I'm guessing will have to be professionally installed. Anyhow it looks great now after my marathon cleaning session. |
