Thanks for the quick replies, steam cleaning is a great idea. I have a
friend with a mini steam cleaner which would be perfect to use in the
cabin. 409 is pretty much what I'd tried originally, but some hard
scrubbing might help. And I'll only replace it if all else fails...

Thanks,
Mike


We had our carpeting and headliner professionally steam cleaned prior to
selling our last boat....the results were quite impressive.

We have a "Green Machine" steam cleaner and tried it before we called a
professional. The results using that machine were poor, especially
considering the time and effort spent on our part. You may want to consider
just contracting it out to a professional from the beginning and enjoy your
saved time. ;-)

By all means though stay away from off the wall advice,such as from the
person recommending using 409 hard surface cleaner on a headliner fabric. I
doubt those folks have any previous experience with this task and therefore
should have stayed silent in this thread. ;-)
