Boat Detailing
Interior & Upholstery Cleaning
A full clean inside and out, for owners who want the boat spotless rather than shiny.
What you get
Interior & Upholstery Cleaning done right
Not every boat needs machine work. Plenty of owners want theirs genuinely clean and are not chasing a mirror finish, and this is the package for them. Outside, that is a full wash of the hull, top deck and exterior surfaces, the windshield and windows, the exterior compartments, and the dirt, grime, water spots and surface contaminants that a rinse leaves behind, with everything accessible cleaned and dried properly rather than left to spot. Inside, it is a full vacuum and debris removal, a deep clean of the seats, vinyl, flooring and storage areas, the cup holders, dash compartments and the high touch areas that get missed, the interior glass, and a final wipe down of every surface. If the gel coat is chalky this will not fix that, and we will tell you so, but the boat will be clean end to end.

Interior & Upholstery Cleaning
Marine vinyl, and the two things that ruin it
Boat upholstery is almost always marine-grade vinyl, built to handle sun and water in a way household furniture is not. It still fails, and it usually fails in one of two ways: pink staining that comes up through the surface from underneath, and cracking caused by the plasticisers that keep it flexible being driven out by heat and ultraviolet. Neither of those is dirt and neither responds to cleaning harder, which is why an interior that has been scrubbed repeatedly can look worse rather than better. Knowing which problem you are looking at decides what should be done about it.
Pink stain is biological, not a spill
Those pink or rose blotches that appear from nowhere are caused by a bacterium living in the foam behind the vinyl, which produces a pigment that migrates outward through the material. Because the source sits behind the surface, scrubbing the surface does not remove it, and bleach usually leaves the vinyl worse than it found it. It is a specific problem with a specific treatment, and it is worth identifying before attacking.
Why harsh cleaners cause the cracking they appear to fix
Vinyl stays soft because of plasticisers held within it. Aggressive solvents, bleach and abrasive melamine pads strip those out along with the stain, and vinyl that looks bright afterwards is measurably more brittle than it was. The cracking that shows up a season or two later along the seams and stress points is often the delayed bill for a cleaner that worked impressively on the day.
Mildew is a moisture problem before it is a cleaning problem
Mildew on seats and carpet is the predictable result of a cover trapping humidity over winter with no airflow, which is a very common way for a boat to come out of storage looking far worse than it went in. Cleaning removes what has grown. Whether it comes back is decided by ventilation and by whether everything was genuinely dry before it was covered, which is why drying is treated as part of the job rather than an afterthought.
The places that get missed
Cup holders, dash compartments, the channels around hatches and the high touch areas near the helm are where a quick clean shows its limits, because they take time and no single one of them is visible from a distance. Storage lockers are the same. They get opened, emptied, cleaned and dried rather than left shut, on the basis that anything closed up damp is a mildew problem being scheduled for later.

Interior & Upholstery Cleaning FAQs
Interior & Upholstery Cleaning, answered
Can you remove mildew from marine vinyl?+
Yes — mildew on seats and cushions is the most common interior problem we see, especially on boats that overwinter under covers. We deep clean it out, then condition and protect the vinyl so it resists coming back.
Why is my vinyl cracking, and can it be prevented?+
UV and dried-out vinyl. Sun bakes the plasticizers out of marine vinyl until it stiffens and splits. Cracking can't be reversed, but regular cleaning and conditioning keeps vinyl supple and pushes that day years out.
Are your interior products safe for marine surfaces?+
Yes. We use marine-specific cleaners and conditioners made for boat vinyl, upholstery, and cabin surfaces. Household cleaners are a common cause of dried-out, sticky, or discoloured vinyl, so we never use them.
