Cleaning interior carpet and mattress

[DockedAndLoaded]

I just purchased a '99 310 Sundancer and have finally worked my way to the inside of the boat where I am at a loss on how to clean it. The boat was extremely neglected being left outside in MN for 2 years without its canvas up So obviously I am wanting to do a thorough, deep cleaning. Can anyone help me with what cleaners to use for the carpet & vinyl as well as how to clean the mattress?

For the outside I've used the 3M Marine product to restore the gelcoat.
Inside, many products fit the bill, but my favorite is a product sold here in Canada at Canadian Tire call Spray Nine.

I would consider replacing the beds. After 13 years, they probably don't support as well.
Give it a good vacuuming with a power brush and treat with something that will kill anything living. I would remove the mattress as well, as it may be mold under it.

Hope this helps.

Buy new mattresses, or buy complete zip up mattress covers and encase them.
If they are just foam take them out and run them under a lawn sprinkler for a few hrs.

For boat cleaning there are a million products. I have a motorhome too, and there are another million cleaning products for that too! ! !

I use Clorox Cleanup - be wary it has bleach - but it cleans everything, like vinyl seats and trim perfectly. If you have Sunbrealla canvas, it works on that too (recommended by Sunbrella). For the floors, I have marine carpet, I went with Simple Green, scrub brush, and a hose.

After everything sparkles, I use Turtle Wax ICE Synthetic Interior Care. It smells great, not greasy, and has UV protection.

Marine Spray Nine is good too, but milder tha n Clorox Clean Up. Google it and visit the product's manufacturer web site. They have an article from Consumer Reports about Spray Nine vs. 12 other products.
