Boat Carpet Cleaner

[Thornback]

I got a tip from another old timer and so I tried it and it worked. His tip was to put one part ammonia with four parts water in a spray bottle and use it to clean your carpet or remove stains from carpeting. My Bass Tracker has grey carpeting and after 12 years naturally I have some dark spots. I sprayed the spots with said mixture, used a brass brush to rub it in, waited several minutes, and wiped it dry with a cloth towel. It worked!

Great tip. Should be mild enough not to hurt the glue underneath either.  That's the big problem with some of the market cleaners, they work great but they also loosen the glue

Gonna have to try this when I get my boat out of the shop as I have some spots that need to get gone.  Do yall think a handheld carpet cleaner would cause the glue to let loose?

I just checked my boat carpet which I cleaned with the ammonia/water and it didn't loosen the glue.
