I tried cleaning mine, but they had taken on the smell of mold and wouldn't let go. Took one apart to experiment. Washed it several times, and used a whole bottle of febreeze on it. Still stunk like mold. So I got new cushions, and it looks like a new boat inside! Definitely worth the investment.

I took the covers off and had them dry cleaned - came up nice. The foam inside has some pieces glued to the front edges to support under your knees. Might come apart under washing! sam :-) C&C 26 Liquorice Ghost Lake Alberta Original Message From: paul taylor via CnC-List Sent: Monday, April 18, 2016 11:15 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Reply To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: paul taylor Subject: Stus-List Interior cushions I have a 1977 29-1, original cushions. Does anyone know if the cushions can be washed without shrinkage ? I was thinking of washing them in an industrial washer with the foam inside.
