When you decide to take to the sea for a boat trip, you expose your boat to varying weather conditions, but also to a variety of dirt and stains. Nautical fabrics, the first victims of these maritime hazards, must be protected and cleaned regularly. We recommend that you opt for textiles from our partner Sunbrella®, the leader in indoor and outdoor fabrics. In addition to giving your boat an enviable elegance, their textiles will be more resistant to potential future damages!

As effective as they are, these fabrics are not invulnerable to stains. But don’t worry, we have some tips on how to get rid of stains before your boat sets sail again.

Why choose Sunbrella fabrics for your boating trip?

If you want your boat to be equipped with durable marine fabrics that last, you’ll find satisfaction with Sunbrella® fabrics. Made to protect boats from the elements, they are recognized by professionals for their effectiveness and design. By enhancing living spaces while demonstrating endurance in the face of the vagaries of sailing, these fabrics combine aesthetics with technical prowess.

Whether for your winter covers, sail covers, biminis, seats, or sprayhood, you will benefit from fabrics that, in addition to being durable and versatile, will ensure your comfort during your excursions at sea. Whether you are a sailing expert in your area or a newcomer to our platform, from motorboats to sailboats, these textiles are suitable for all types of vessels.

And here are some qualities that these marine fabrics have:

#1 UV & Fade Resistance

The colors of your fabrics will keep their intensity and will not fade despite daily exposure to the sun, seawater, and chlorine. This way, you can prepare for your trip without worrying about your fabrics being affected by a sometimes hostile marine environment.

#2 Protection From the Sun

If you decide to go out on the boat but are worried that long hours in the sun will be bad for your skin, marine textiles such as awnings will offer you the best protection. This way, you can enjoy long hours at sea without fearing the dangers of overexposure to the sun. In addition, these fabrics allow consistent airflow allowing you to enjoy comfortable sailing!

#3 Stain and Mildew Resistance

Boats are not immune to the unexpected changes of the weather, which will, over time, take a toll on your vessel. You wouldn’t think of renting a boat with stains, but stains can cause mold and mildew to develop. But don’t panic! Fabrics can be cleaned with bleach without affecting their color.

Do your fabrics have stains? Here are some tips to get rid of them:

Brushing stains out of textiles

Worried about a stain on your brand new seat? Don’t worry, they’re not permanent. If you notice them before your boat trip, don’t panic. Whether it’s sunscreen stains, wine stains, or any other kind of dirt, we’ve got some tips on how to get rid of them quickly and easily.

Rapid Cleaning

  • Brush the fabric
  • Spray the fabric down with cold water
  • Mix soap and water
  • Scrub the fabric with a soft brush
  • Let the fabric sit
  • Rinse thoroughly
  • Let dry

Deep Cleaning

  • Prepare a solution: 1/10 bleach, 2/10 soap, & 7/10 water
  • Scrub the fabric with a soft brush
  • Let the fabric sit for 15 minutes
  • Remove the solution with a sponge or towel
  • Rinse thoroughly
  • Let dry

To remove these stains, Tex’Aktiv Clean and Tex’Aktiv Guard are ideal. Effective when it comes to maintaining your boat, they will allow you to thoroughly clean your fabrics and waterproof them as well. So whether you’re going for a half-day trip or a weekend away, with family or friends, you’ll be able to take your guests aboard a boat that’s back to its former glory.
