Over time, boat canopies can accumulate organic growths such as algae, mold, mildew, and moss. These contaminants not only diminish the aesthetic appeal of your vessel but can also degrade the fabric, compromising its durability and functionality. Traditional high-pressure washing methods may be too harsh for canopy materials, potentially causing damage such as fabric weakening or stitching deterioration. Soft washing, on the other hand, employs a low-pressure spray combined with effective cleaning solutions to safely and efficiently cleanse your boat canopy without causing harm.

Our soft washing procedure is designed to be both safe and effective:​

Inspection: We begin with a thorough assessment of your boat canopy to identify specific areas affected by contaminants and determine the appropriate treatment.​

Preparation: Surrounding areas and boat surfaces are protected to prevent any impact from the cleaning solutions.​

Application of Cleaning Solution: A biodegradable solution is gently applied using low-pressure equipment. This solution penetrates and eliminates algae, mold, mildew, and other organic matter at their roots, ensuring a comprehensive clean.​

Dwell Time: The solution is allowed to sit for a specified period, effectively breaking down contaminants without the need for high-pressure washing.​

Gentle Brushing: For areas with stubborn stains or heavy soiling, a soft-bristle brush is used to gently agitate the fabric, aiding in the removal of embedded dirt and grime.​

Rinsing: The boat canopy is gently rinsed with clean water, removing residual cleaning agents and leaving your canopy looking revitalized.​

Drying and Reproofing: After the cleaning process, the canopy is allowed to dry thoroughly. To restore water and stain repellency, we recommend applying a fabric guard, such as 303 Marine Fabric Guard, which helps protect the material from future contamination and UV damage.

Opting for soft washing offers several advantages:​

Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: Removing unsightly stains and discoloration restores your boat canopy's original beauty, significantly boosting the overall look of your vessel.​

Extended Lifespan: By eliminating harmful organisms and preventing their regrowth, soft washing helps maintain the structural integrity of your canopy materials, potentially extending their service life and saving you from costly repairs or replacements.​

Improved Functionality: A clean and well-maintained canopy provides better protection against the elements, ensuring a more comfortable and enjoyable boating experience.
