Re: Boat Carpet Cleaners

I use my carpet steam cleaner that I use at home on the boat carpets. Works great and blows your mind at how dirty the carpets are, even though they look good. You can also on warm day open your lids and spray them good with hose. That way all water drains out and lids dry fast if left open.
