Carpet Clean
Every stain has a last day. Marine carpet and upholstery take hits nothing else on the boat does — sunscreen, fish slime, bait, mildew, and whatever the crew tracks in from the dock. Carpet Clean lifts stains and odors from marine carpet and fabric and rinses out clean, with no sticky residue.

Why Extraction Matters
Stains live deep in the pile. Carpet Clean breaks them down inside the fibers, and extracting pulls the stain and the cleaner out together. Leave water in a marine carpet and you'll have mildew within a day — so extract, rinse, extract again, and dry it out.
How to Use
Clean
- Vacuum or shake out loose debris.
- Lightly pre-wet the stain with fresh water.
- Spray or pour Carpet Clean generously onto the stain.
- Dwell 2–5 minutes.
- Agitate with a soft-bristle brush in circles — firm enough to lift, not enough to damage the pile.
- Extract with a wet/dry vac, or blot firmly with clean towels. Blot, don't rub.
- Rinse with fresh water and extract again until no suds remain.
- Dry fully — open hatches and get air moving.
Gloves recommended.
Safe to Use On / Do Not Use On
✅ Safe on: marine carpet (cut pile and berber) · synthetic fabric upholstery · canvas and Sunbrella · cockpit cushion covers (remove and treat flat when possible) · vinyl-backed carpet
❌ Do not use on: vinyl upholstery (use All Purpose, then Capt. Conditioner) · unprotected leather (test first) · teak and raw wood · hard surfaces, glass, and paint (use All Purpose) · engine room or bilge (use Grease Gone)
When in doubt, test in a hidden area first.
Pro Tips From the Field
- Never skip extraction. Water left in marine carpet breeds mildew within 24 hours.
- Hit fish and bait stains the same day. They set fast in heat.
- Mildew smell, no stain? Apply and extract twice — the source is deeper than it looks.
- Set-in stains: apply, cover with a damp towel, and let it work 10–15 minutes before agitating.
