Soft Wash on Boat Sails

I would say no as well. The bleach will degrade the fibers in the sail.

Laurie,

Depends on the fabric of the sail and most important the type of stiching. We clean Birdaire panels here all the time. They are much like sails. Also awnings. Most of those manufacturers say to clean with Murphy's Oil Soap and water only. We soft washed all the time with no issues. Make sure all of the colors are colorfast and wont bleach. Do not use more than a 2% solution. Make sure the customer signs off.
