cleaning sails
My sailmaker wanted $75 to clean my mainsail ...Can I just take it to
a commercial laundry and throw it into a washing machine ? It's about = 15 years old and Dacron. Any need to worry about detergents ? That's an old sail and it could fall apart in a commercial washer grom = all the tumbling, spinning, and agitating....put it in the bathtub with = a good laundry detergent and a whitening agent (NOT CHLORINE BLEACH!) = and stomp around on it, rinse and then hang over your deck or pcinic = table or solar drier (clothesline).... --=20 katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.
