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,.

Use OxyClean in the steam cleaning solution, along with the regular
cleaner. It will look like new. I would pretreat the greasy area of
the "Mouse Fur" with any good degreaser (Orange stuff or 409) and it
should end up looking like new.

The OxyClean will also get rid of the mold and mildew that you have on
most boats.


PS - The steam cleaner is a great idea and works well, but as long as
you can keep the hatch open so the boat can dry out, it really isn't
necessary. I have soaked the headliner and the carpeting with the
OxyClean solution and Orange cleaner, and then just left the hatches
open to allow the moisture to escape. If you use the steam cleaner, it
will be dry after one day, if you don't it will be dry in two days.

That's my story and I am sticking to it.
