Seagrass flooring stain

Post by 2ridgebacks »

I have either Hi-C or spaghetti sauce in my Seagrass. I'm leaning toward Hi-C. Anyway, it's been there a couple of days baking in the sun. Does anyone have experience or thoughts on getting this out? I don't relish the thought of replacing it. I'm sure it isn't cheap. I have used Dawn dishwashing liquid and Oxi-Clean. Neither product seemed to touch it.

Hi 2ridgebacks. Lot of experience with this. Hi-C is the most powerful staining chemical known to humankind! Along with all koolaid (and any other red or colorful stuff you spill on a boat)! ...and red sauce ain't no slouch at staining either! Anyway, the vinyl (pvc) is clear coated on too layer so you can likely win here. Recc: use isopropyl rubbing alcohol or odorless mineral spirits and towel to remove grease spots. If this doesn't do it get neutral ph cleaner and scrub, or I would prob opt for a small dab of a spray cleaner containing bleach and scub the spot only. Always wipe any cleaner off with wet rag to remove chem from the vinyl. Good luck! Hope this helps! :geek:

I'm with you on nothing red. I was trying to help out and bring some trash home from the lake. Nobody remembered to take the trash out when we got home. Some critter found the trash before I remembered it.

Oh No.That sucks. I hope it comes out. Get in the sun too to help bleach it out. I had a bird crap red berries and the bio kleen took it out after sitting for a day.

Well, I just hooked up to the boat for a nine day respite. When putting the tube in, my wife asked what I used to get the stain out. I haven't looked at the boat since my first post on Monday. I about created a new stain when I crawled up and looked at the floor and the stain had vanished without a trace!
I used Dawn and Oxi-Clean. I scrubbed the crap out of both. Neither phased it and both were rinsed thoroughly. I guess two days of sunshine did the trick! I have no other explanation. Thanks for the tips. Now that I have left mine, I'm headed for the lake. Standby for boat pics.
