[Public-List] Cleaning Dacron sails

[Gordon Laco]

I never do it.   I had a suit of sails cleaned once and they were never the same.   The most cleaning I’d give a sail would be water and a soft brush.

Some say to soak the sail overnight in an Oxiclean solution. Others say to stretch it out on a flat surface other than directly on concrete and use a soft brush and a solution of mild liquid detergent or Woolite. I am curious how the group gets their sails cleaned routinely.
