Hey all,

Is there any thing you guys use on your boat carpet that makes it slightly less prone to stains? Mine is tan color and stains easily. Last weekend i was flippin' grass mats and the gnats completely covered the boat! Now i have nasty stains everywhere from stepping/sitting on them. Is there anything or do i just have to deal with it?

I've never tried it on boat carpet, but theres always the spray on scotchguard stuff thats used in household carpeting.  I don't see why it wouldn't work on marine carpet.  You may have to apply it a little more regularly on a boat though.

That was my first thought as well. May be the only option................

I mean you could always use some of that clear shrink wrap like you seen on every old ladies furniture.  It'll keep it clean, but it aint very functional....

Great advice. Put more on regularly, even though you have never tried it. Excellent.

Go on-line to Overton's. They have a lot of boat cleaning and care products. A friend of mine uses High Tech Fabric Guard. It's expensive, but he says it's worth it.

THANKS, i will check the site out! I have heard too many mixed reviews about Scotch Guard.
