The boat is home and will be winterized and brought to storage today. I have noticed that my bimini cover (not the bimini itself) has gotten quite dirty. Any suggestions on how to clean this without damaging the fabric? Boat is a 2011 AR240. Thanks.

If you mean the bimini boot, I put mine in the washing machine using deft detergent for babies. Do not use spin cycle. Let it dry on the line.
 
Yes, I was referring to the boot. I was debating between the washing machine and the power washer, but I think the washing machine will be a little more gentle. Thanks.
 
I used to hang my tube on it to dry. It resulted in some mildew spots on it. I stopped hanging it there and they are fading naturally in the sun...
 
I did put it in the washing machine and it helped, but I think I will try some hand scrubbing in the spring.
