M and M Upholstery performs trim work on all boat
types and models. For boat work we use only marine grade materials
and stainless steel fasteners and staples. Our services include:
Boat upholstery We repair and/or replace
boat seat covers, carpets, hatch covers, side panels, and
headliners. We can install factory replacement seat covers from your
boat's manufacturer. We can fabricate new boat upholstery from
scratch in any pattern, color (or colors), or shape. We can also
fabricate new seat bottoms and panels from plastic or marine
plywood.
Boat tops If your bimini top is
worn out, or you need a new set of covers for your cockpit, let M
and M Upholstery make you replacements that will make your boat look
new again.
Boat covers The boat cover
serves a very important purpose: it takes the brunt of the sun and
elements in order to protect the boat. Inexpensive boat covers are
made of canvas and tend to last one to two years. Often they are
baggy. M and M Upholstery makes boat covers that are form-fitted to
your boat. Generally, they are made of Sunbrella canvas - the
material that lasts longest exposed full-time to the weather.
Sunbrella comes in a wide variety of patterns and colors.
How to clean Vinyl Boat Upholstery To help keep
your boat looking great, you mus tclean your vinyl boat upholstery
regularly. Vinyl is very porous and collects much of what it comes
into contact with. Because boats are exposed to dirty and possibly
salty water, your boat's vinyl upholstery can collect stains and
debris. Depending on where you store your boat and how often you use
it will help determine how often you should clean it. If you use
your boat every weekend, you should clean your upholstery at least
once a month. If you use your boat twice a month, you should be
cleaning the vinyl every six weeks. Storing your boat on the water
will require you to clean your boat's vinyl each visit.
Things You'll Need: · Dish soap · Water · Bucket
· Plastic bristle brush · Hose · Terry cloth towel ·
Ammonia · Hydrogen peroxide Step 1
For general cleaning of your boat's vinyl, use dish soap and water.
Fill the bucket with 1/2 gallon of water and five drops of the dish
soap. Step 2 Dip the plastic bristle brush
into the bucket and begin to scrub your boat's vinyl upholstery,
making sure to remove any dirt, salt or other problems that you see.
Step 3 Rinse off the vinyl off with the hose and
water, removing any suds left by the dish soap. Step 4
Pat all wet vinyl with the terry cloth towel until dry.
Step 5 To clean and remove mold, mildew or stains, fill
the bucket with 1 tbsp. of ammonia, 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide and
3/4 cup of water. Step 6 With the bristle
brush, scrub the areas of vinyl that are stained or have mold and
mildew present. Step 7 Rinse the area with
the hose and water. Step 8 Pat your boat's
vinyl dry with a terry cloth towel.
