How to Remove Tough Stains From Vinyl Boat Seats

Remove tough stains from your white boat seats

If your boat or jet ski has white seats, you will often need to clean stains off of them. Whether it's a food stain or a stain from a friendly animal visitor, you can get those seats back to a shiny white with a little elbow grease. Only use a bleach cleaner on white seats. You'll have your boat or jet ski looking like new again in no time.

Things You'll Need

• Soft Scrub bleach cleaner
• White rag
• Cotton swabs
• 303 aerospace protectant

Instructions

1. Remove all boat seats from the boat and place near an outdoor water hose. Make sure you are working in the sun. The sun will help the bleaching process along.

2. Place the Soft Scrub on a cotton swab. Dab the cleaner onto a stain on an unnoticeable part of the seat. Apply liberally.

3. Place the seat in the sun and allow the cleaner to dry completely. Check the spots frequently for progress. You do not need to leave this on for too long.

4. Use the hose to rinse off the dried cleaner. Check the area for any discoloration of the seat before using this method on a more noticeable area of the seat.

5. Repeat the process to clean the rest of the seat. Be sure to avoid any areas on the seat that are not white.

6. Use the hose to rinse the seat thoroughly when you are satisfied with the results.

7. Allow the seats to dry in the sun and apply the 303 protectant to the seats so they stay soft.
