Guest Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Hey All, Any one here know how to clean squabs, mine just seem to be constantly damp and need to get rid of any salt in the foam. So far I think using warm water to flush them and leaving them on the tramp to drain/dry. Ideas welcome. Cheers, Dan Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Yep that's about it. Salt will absorb the moisture right out of the air. So if they ever got wet with Salt water once, you will have ongoing problems till they are washed and dried. On larger cruising boats where they have the luxury of room, a rule is often made that you change out of salt wet clothes out in a "wet area" and then come inside and not to wear your boat shoes inside. Once you get Salt inside and especially on the carpet, it is a nightmare to keep dry. And you don't often have the luxury of a dehumidifier running when you are at sea.

Atom Ant 0 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Then bung em in a room with a dehumidifier for a few days. Sorted. Link to post Share on other sites
Bogan 8 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 No need for warm water or detergent if you're only getting salt out. Just keep rinsing them until you can't taste the salt in the water that drains through. I rinsed mine with the sitting on an outdoor table (good gaps for the water to drain through). Covers and all, seeing as the zips were too corroded to get the covers off. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Might just leave them on the tramp with the garden sprinkler on them. Cheers for the advice guys. Link to post Share on other sites
Atom Ant 0 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 The roof deck is the roofing material layer between the primary structural components and either insulative layers or weatherproofing layers in a typical roof system. Usually the roof deck acts as a unifying structural diaphragm by tying all the structural components together. Decking Timber Are you on drugs or is it me? What are you talking about?

Guest Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Due to a slight issue with the forward hatch last Saturday I had to clean and dry some squabs. It's easy. Chuck them in the ute, take them home and say to the Wa 'Here clean these' Easy peasy. Link to post Share on other sites
Murky 1 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Chuck them in the ute, take them home and say to the Wa 'Here clean these' Sorry to bring your lovely dream to an end but the sun is up already and you need to put some clothes on and get to work pronto.

wheels 543 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Chuck them in the ute, take them home and say to the Wa 'Here clean these' Oh have you got one of those machines too. Better than anything F&P have ever designed. I just have to drop the dirty clothes ont he floor and they eventually turn up in the draw all washed ironed and folded. Had mine 22yrs now and still going strong, although a few cosmetic blemishes here and there now, but hey, what wouldn't after 22yrs of hard use. Best $50 bucks I ever spent, even though at the time I did yell "how much??..but...but that's like....two trips up the Ski field!!" Link to post Share on other sites
