    Posted: July-29-2019 at 5:31pm
I have an '83 SN with original orange/ black astroturf style carpet. I just cleaned the interior and noticed that the carpet has a heavy mildew/ funky odor. Before I start using any harsh chemicals, I wanted to poll the experts on any tips to deodorizing the carpets in old correct crafts.

Floor/ stringers are still in decent shape. Hopefully another 5-6 years before I need to tear it all out.

Thanks!

You could try vinegar water mix and baking soda or just go right to the hydrogen peroxide/5 part water mix....

just make sure you then hose it out well and let it dry in sun all day before storing the boat again.

Thanks! Do you know how long I should let the Hydrogen Peroxide/ water solution soak on the carpet before rinsing?

Thanks. Just tried the procedure tonight. I'll let it sit in the direct sunlight all day tomorrow and report back the results tomorrow night.
