Cleaning Bow Covers
At the end of last season a small pool of water froze, thawed, and
evaporated off my bow cover (Sun Brella). It left a brown-ish water stain.. My question is, what is a good way to clean this stain out... I've read ( in the manuals) that any kind of soap shouldn't be used as it'll strip away the water resistance quality of the material.... thoughts? -j |

Cleaning Bow Covers
Yes,, cleaning it with a harsh abrasive cleaner will do a good job of
cleaning it, but will remove the protective silicone or waxy protective coat. So clean it and replace the protective coat. You can get a can of silicone spray at any hardware store and simply coat it. You probably could coat it every year. The tarp or cover will last a lot longer. "Jay" wrote in message ...
