Interior Boat Maintenance
 

Interior

Avoid leaving salon access door open while running at cruise speed, especially if salt spray is being pushed up the "station wagon" effect will pull salt air into the vessel interior and cause excellarated aging of interiors.

 

Vessels in our latitude should have a dehumidifier running in cabin, draining to a sink while boat is closed up. Dehumidifier mode on air conditioning unit does not perform the same function.

Carpets

 
 
Carpets should be vacuumed, weekly. Whenever the boat is used and there has been traffic over carpet it should be cleaned. In addition to regular maintenance the carpet should be professionally cleaned every six months.
     
Furniture  
     
 
Sofa's should be moved (if possible) to allow cleaning under and around every couple of months or depending on traffic and number of people onboard monthly. Cushions should be removed to allow access for cleaning.
 
     
 
Tables end tables, ect. Should be wiped off as needed due to use or dust. Use an approved cleaner for this purpose. Do not spray cleaners directly on surface, always spray cleaner on cloth or paper towel first, and then wipe down clean.
 
     

Bar

 
     
 
This area must be kept clean at all times to avoid smells. all cabinets need to be kept neat. all liquor bottles need to be wiped off and stowed when not in use.
 
     

Windows

 
     
 
Inside of all windows should be cleaned on a weekly basis or as needed. Can be cleaned with a product such as Windex. Follow instructions on product label.
 
     
  Do not spray cleaners directly on surface, always spray cleaner on cloth or paper towel first, and then wipe window clean. (Careful with tint)  
     
 

Clean verticals, levelors and blinds once a month.

 
     

Runners

 
     
 
Runners are great in protecting carpets from wear and will help prolong life of carpet. They do not take place of cleaning and should be removed when carpet is being cleaned and then replaced.
 
     
Audio and Video Equipment  
     
 
Dust off or clean as needed due to dust. This is an area where lots of dust collects and needs attention. Make sure to clean under and around equipment. Do not spray any cleaner directly on equipment as this can damage the equipment. This equipment should be operated weekly.
 
     
Lockers  
     
 
Lockers or cabinets need to be checked on a regular basis and keep neat and orderly.
