Sunbrella Marine Canvas is comfortable and lasts a long time; however, it does get nasty dirty and is hard to clean if you don’t know what you’re doing. Being full time cruisers in the tropics, we’ve learned a trick or two to make cleaning your Sunbrella Canvas easier and more successful. We show you the products you need (simple ones that you already have on board) and the process to go through to eliminate mold, dirt, mildew, grease stains and anything else that is making your cushions look terrible!

2 STEP CLEANING PROCESS - entire process, not counting wait time, takes about 15 minutes per cushion.

Step 1
Outside in the sun, thoroughly wet cushions with water and spray on Sunbrella Recommend Cleaning Formula (link below) while gently scrubbing with a medium stiffness bristle dish brush. Let sit in the sun for 15+ minutes while the chemical works and you start work on other cushions.

I recommend the following homemade cleaning solution which I believe is an improvement on Sunbrella’s suggested cleaning solution - see link below.

Blown Away’s MARINE CANVAS CLEANING SOLUTION - 1 Gallon
1/4 cup Dawn Dishwashing Liquid
1 cup common household chlorine bleach - not oxygenated bleach
1/4 cup concentrated degreaser such as Simple Green or Fabululoso
Water

Step 2 - here’s the trick to tackling the tough stains - if necessary
Wash off dirt from step 1 cushion process. Next spray Blown Away Special Touch Up Formula Recipe (see below) on remaining tough mildew, dirt and grease stains and rub in with a brush and let sit in the sun for 15+ minutes. Rinse with fresh, clean water.

NEW TO OUR CHANNEL?
We are Eileen and Brown Councill. Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our NEW life adventure! 2020 was a year of uncertainty and change (for all of us, right?), but we overcame the challenges and decided it was time to chase our dream, to sail around the world! Did I mention that we have very little sailing experience? Before leaving Qingdao, China, our home of 4 years, we sold almost all of our earthly possessions and started our international search to find the right sailboat that we would call "home." After 5 months of unanticipated twists and turns, we found what we were looking for, a used Leopard 44' Catamaran located in St. Lucia.

So, here begins our journey, filled with unmatched excitement and honestly, a bit of trepidation as well. We have much to learn as we travel the world on our floating home and we intend to document that journey and share it with you. We are so glad you have decided to join us, and we hope that you will find our story so compelling that it will inspire you to chase your dreams too!

As a viewer, we consider you to be part of our family and look forward to getting to know you. Don't hesitate to comment on our videos and ask questions. We will do our best to answer every correspondence! All we ask is that you have patience with us as we work really hard to improve our camera/video techniques and ability to tell a story. Hopefully, you will be as BLOWN AWAY from watching, as we are in experiencing and producing our adventures!

If you wish to support our video efforts, all we ask is that you SUBSCRIBE, give a THUMBS UP, and SHARE our videos with your friends!
