Am hearing about many ways to get sails clean. I have inherited an older sail in pretty good condition but is mildewed. Any way I can fix it up myself? Heard you could use that stuff called Oxy Clean and it would work. Advice??
I have just cleaned my Doyle sails and they came out looking great! I called Doyle and they suggested a mixture of Tide powder and Oxy-Clean. I let soak for 3 days and then scrubbed lightly and rinsed. Very easy!
Jim, I'd love to know where you found that additive. I've had similar success by just using a mild detergent and a small amount of Clorox (not enough to harm the fabric). I've come away with the impression that a long soak is a big help. But I'd like to try Oxy Clean. Jack
Thanks for the replies. I will give it a go and let you know how it works out. By the way, WalMart carries OxyCLean as well as most of the larger grocery chains. Good sailing!
