Hey all,
Looking for better ideas on cleaning the walls of my 10.8. The cloth is original and in need of a good cleaning. Ive used carpet cleaner and a couple of other things to no avail. Dont really want to replace it but will if someone can point me in the right direction. Ive even thought of dying before I install the new carpet. Ideas???????
Now I'll tell a story that might help someone in the furture:::: as I posted earlier I was having a problem with the push button start on the helm. All I need to say is ---check the wire to and from the transmission there may be a break or bad connection. the helm thinks the trany is in gear and wont start.

thanks in advance

Some people like Oxi clean . I am thing about trying it myself on the V-birth area '


Sounds like you got the start issue fixed ,glad to hear that . you should update that thread if you have not done so .

Oxyclean..if you try get back to us, I've got that fussy stuff on the bulkheads to and the portlights leaked (new ones installed) and have some blackish stains that need worked on..

I use Clorox Clean up (spray bottle) and a soft bristle brush to clean mine. I have also just purchased a can of Picorganic for mold,have not used it yet so we will see how it works later. I know one of the international owners did paint theirs , check thru the forum.

if you do have to replace. look up trojanmann. he seems to be close to you, but im sure he could help you out mentally if nothing else. Love the signature

so far Ive found nothing that will work. my last resort to the salon area is install wood. (cabinet and furniture maker for 30yrs i was) I will continue to try other things and will let everyone know what I come up with.

thanks for all the help

I ran across some stuff by accident that removed all but the toughest of stains.

It's called Spot Shot and I found it in a aerosol can. It is intended for removing pet stains from carpet. It's not going to be cheap at $5.50 a can to do an entire interior but I did hear that they have a non aerosol version that it cheaper by the ounce. I think I would stay away from the mildew removers because most of them contain Bleach as an active ingredient and that might discolor the material.

The only thing this stuff didn't remove from the mole hair interior bulkhead covering was paint.

I found it at Home Depot but it's also available at Ace and True Value.

Good luck.

if the material is over 12yrs old I'd swap it out , Its hard to revive cloth/carpet you can put alot of time in it and not get the results you deserve. If you could get some pics up I'd be more then willing to walk you through the install , its really not difficult when you got someone to give you all the easy outs .
