Cleaning and Storing
Cleaning
Soak in luke warm water containing a white or clear, high grade dish soap (i.e. Ivory Dish Soap). Using your hands, massage the soap into the cotton rope. Do Not.. rub or scrub!!! … this will pull the cotton fibers out! Rinse in clean cool water. Repeat if necessary until fenders are clean. Rinse again to remove all the soap. Then hang to dry.
Some stains may not come out. To remove these stains, CAUTIOUSLY dab with a mild bleach solution and rinse immediately!
Storing
Ensure your fenders are completely dry and store them in a “cool and dry” location. Should you chose to cover them.. be sure the covering can breath to avoid possible mildew! Do not store the fenders long term in the plastic bags you received them in!
