Keeping Your Bimini Top in Excellent Condition

Proper maintenance of your bimini top will extend its life and keep it looking great for years to come. Follow these simple care instructions to maintain your investment and ensure maximum protection on the water.

Frame Care

The bows do not need any constant care or maintenance. Just wipe clean every now and then to keep up the new look. Regular cleaning will prevent build-up of salt, dirt, and other environmental elements.

Fabric Care

When it comes to care of fabric, it is best to clean before any dirt or other particles are allowed to accumulate and become embedded in the fabric. The fabric can be cleaned without removing it from the top. Follow these steps:

  1. Brush off any loose dirt or debris
  2. Hose down the fabric
  3. Clean with a mild solution of natural soap in lukewarm water
  4. Perform a thorough rinse to remove all soap
  5. Allow to air dry completely

DO NOT USE DETERGENTS

Detergents can damage the fabric and compromise its water-resistant qualities. Only use mild natural soaps specifically formulated for outdoor fabrics.

For Stubborn Stains

For more severe cases, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare a solution of no more than 1/2 cup non-chlorine bleach and 1/4 cup natural soap per gallon of water at approximately 100 degrees F.
  2. Soak your fabric in this solution for twenty minutes.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry.

Important Note

Excessive soaking in non-chlorine bleach can deteriorate sewing threads and also remove some of the water repellency. You should apply an air-curing fluorocarbon water repellent treatment such as 303 Hi-tech Fabric Guard if water repellency is a factor.
