Top tips to consider while washing boat covers


Most boat covers are made from a solution dyed polyester fiber that’s woven into a breathable fabric and given a urethane coating, then treated using a fluorocarbon finish that gives it  excellent mildew and water repellent qualities. Because of this, they are easy to maintain and long lasting.
Some top tips to consider while washing your boat cover are:

Fitting, Your Boat Cover

When you place your cover on your boat, ensure that it has a proper support system in place so there are no areas where water can pool.

This can be done using straps or poles, set to give a “tented” effect that makes sure the water quickly runs off to stop any mold growth and damage. If allowed to pool on your boat cover water will seep through and cause damage inside. When fitting the cover add extra padding around areas such as windscreens and sharp areas to avoid wear.

Keep Your Boat Cover Clean

Try and keep leaves and other debris off your cover so mould and grime doesn’t have a chance to take hold. Ideally, your boat covers should be sprayed down with clean water once a month.
This will keep it looking clean and help delay the need for more vigorous cleaning and help it last for many seasons.

Cleaning Times

Under normal conditions, a boat cover should be cleaned every two years. This is often done while it is still on the boat for ease of handling and allowing it to naturally dry. Unless it’s a small cover and clearly stated on the label that it’s machine washable, it should not be washed in a machine.

Washing Soap

The cover should be washed using a natural soap and not a detergent although special boat cover washing solution can be used. The water should be cold or lukewarm, never hot as this can damage the boat covers waterproofing capabilities.

Always use a natural pH soap  with water that should be cold to lukewarm, but not hot.

Washing Method

  •          Begin by posing done the whole cover and brushing off any dirt with a stiff broom to remove dirt and stains.
  •          Spray with a weak solution of liquid soap and brush down with fresh clean water
  •           If stains will not wash off, try using a mixture of 1 part white vinegar, 1 part of borax powder and 2 parts of clean cold water mixed together. Spray the stained area and leave for about 10 minutes and rinse off, repeat if necessary
  •           Allow the cover to air dry completely
  •          After a few years, it’s recommended to apply a water repellant product to help protect your boat cover and extend its working life


Storing a Boat Cover
If you are storing your boat cover, always make sure it’s clean and dry before placing it in a protective bag. His will prevent the buildup of mould and mildew. Store it in a dark, cool place.
