Anyone know where I could get this done professionally? I never seem to get all of the dust out of it. I hate putting it back on after a day of cleaning the boat with a fine toothed comb.

I usually hang it on the fence, hose it off, then give it a once over with a sponge & soap, rinse it again, but it just never seems to get clean enough for my satisfaction.

You obviously need to lower your standards. I find it makes life a lot easier. :D

LMAO You know that if it was a cover for the buggy I would not be so particular. :D

Ditto that but dont use powdered laundry soap. Have been told to use Fantasic.
Find a Laundromat with a big ass washer and dryer, or there are laundry/dry cleaners that advertise that they can do sleeping bags and other large items.
My brother works for an ambulance service. They have a HUGE washer and dryer for doing all the sheets from the meatwagons. I have him take mine to work every few months, looks brand new when he brings it back.

Here is how I clean mine. I hang it from the patio cover with bungees and hose it off. Drys pretty fast.

Well, I guess we all know were the buggy stands in this relationship.

We've always just used air to blow of the big dust and then a very light rinse with the hose, that way the sunbrella keeps it's treatment and will continue to bead water, i guess you could scotch gaurd the thing after washing it though. Cold Water Only!!!!! :D

You can take it to Custom Canvas in Montclair and see Ron. We take ours to him and looks brand new. I believe that's where GT sends his stuff as well.

Spray it down with fantastic or equivlant and throw it in a hot tub for a while, then hang out to dry!! Works great
