Choosing Boat Upholstery
The most important thing to look for when shopping for boat upholstery is durability. Any boater will tell you that boat upholstery suffers more wear and tear than upholstery in a house. Since the interior of the boat will be subject to sun, rain and regular use, choosing upholstery made from a durable fabric is important. Upholstery is typically made from marine vinyl. Marine fabric is durable, easy to clean and can be treated to resist mildew. If in doubt as to what fabric is best in your locale, talk to local boaters to see what kind of upholstery they have in their boats or just Ask Danny.

Cleaning and Maintaining Boat Upholstery
To ensure the longevity and quality of boat upholstery, it is important to properly treat, clean and protect it. Boat upholstery should be regularly cleaned with a safe fabric cleaner or soapy water to get rid of dust or dirt buildup. It is important to be certain of the fabric the boat upholstery is made of so the proper cleaner can be used. Some cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can damage fabric over time. When in doubt, use warm, soapy water to clean the boat upholstery as this is safe for almost any fabric. It is imperative to clean the boat upholstery on a regular basis.
Treating the boat upholstery with a water-repellant agent is also a good idea. Due to constant moisture exposure, mildew is a big threat to boat upholstery. Boat upholstery can be treated for mildew resistance or sprayed with Lysol after the fabric has been cleaned and is dry. There are kits available to remove mildew if it is already present. Lubricate zippers and fasteners with a clear silicone spray to keep corrosion to a minimum.
As you know, boat seats can wear out when they are constantly exposed to the sun and other outside elements. If the elements don't get to them, age will eventually damage the most well-cared-for boat seats. Replacing them with new ones can be pricey. It's cheaper to have them reupholstered.
