EP 41 Those Stained Salon Seat Cushions on Sailboat Paradox

Hello and welcome to the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States podcast. In this episode, we discuss what to do about dirty seat cushions in your main salon. Prior to fixing some leaking windows on Paradox, (see EP-38) we would get water dripping from the cabin onto the seat cushions. This went on for several years with the previous owner and the tan fabric-covered cushions developed some stains. As an experiment, on our last trip, we took two bottoms and two tops home to wash. After soaking the bad spots in some stain remover and a good wash, they came out great. Getting the foam back into the cushions was a challenge. In the end, they turned out great. Eight more to go. Sounds like a nice winter project. We love to hear from our listeners, send us your questions, comments, and suggestions at sailingtheeast@gmail.com. If you know someone that would be an interesting guest on the show, please reach out to us and let us know. Wishing you fair winds, and calm seas. Bela and Mike
