Re: M_Boats: Advice for stained jib
I had a commercial dry cleaning company do 5 sails for a 26' sloop...they looked terrible and had rust stains. The dc co removed all the stains and the sails came out looking bright and new. I can't remember the name of the company but they are the guys who drive trucks with the white bags carried on the roof. They do drapery and other large pieces for hotels, etc. Charge was by the lb and cheap compared to the "sail cleaning company" I contacted in Ft Laud. bp **************It's Tax Time!

Generally, sail cleaning involves a tad more than just "cleaning" to be done correctly and minimize the risk of damage. SailCare for one, (maybe others) not only clean the sails but they resin treat the sails so they not only look good, but also perform good. Seems a little risky to trust your sails to a commercial dry cleaner...???
