Shop boat fabric protectors at West Marine.

West Marine offers fabric protectors for vinyl, canvas, rubber and most other marine fabrics. While a few of the products on this page can be used to remove stains and dirt from marine fabrics, most are formulated for application to condition and protect clean fabric surfaces from which staining and soiling has been previously removed.

For Problems with Mold and Mildew

Due to the frequently humid conditions encountered on boats, marine fabrics often become infested with mold and mildew. The reader should note that none of the products on this page are specifically formulated to remove mold, mildew, or the stains that these fungi leave behind. For these types of products, we suggest you browse to our selection of mold and mildew cleaners.

Choose a fabric treatment or protector specifically formulated for the job at hand.

When shopping for a fabric treatment or protector, carefully read the product description and take note of the purpose for which the product is designed. For removing tough stains, greasy smears and grime from vinyl, consider Star brite’s Ultimate Vinyl Clean. For waterproofing vinyl and other marine fabrics, products to consider include Star brite’s Waterproofing and Fabric Treatment with PTEF, 303 Products Marine and Recreation Fabric Guard and West Marine’s Waterproofing Protectant with PTEF.
