Fabric Care for ORCA®

Product catalog summary
Introduction
ORCA® fabrics undergo rigorous quality control during design and manufacturing to ensure optimal performance against abrasion, UV rays, hydrocarbons, and aging. Despite these measures, technical limitations exist due to environmental protection requirements. The materials used guarantee a performance lifespan of 5 years, extendable through regular maintenance.

Maintenance Guidelines
1. Regular Cleaning: After each use, clean the fabric with mild soap and water. Monthly cleaning and pre-storage cleaning should follow specific instructions using recommended products.
2. Spot Treatment: Mold, algae, or bacteria may appear under certain conditions. These should be treated immediately with designated cleaning products, as they do not affect fabric quality and are not covered by warranty.

Cleaning Procedure
Step 1: New Magic
- Removes surface dirt.
- Recommended for regular light-cleaning.
- Spray on wet tube, scrub with a non-abrasive sponge, and rinse.

Step 2: Shmuffex
- Removes spots on fabric layers.
- Apply after Step 1, protect surrounding elements, and wear protective gear.
- Spray generously, spread with a sponge, let set for 1 hour, and rinse.

Step 3: Gumemp 100
- Protects against salt, atmospheric agents, and UV rays.
- Use after regular or deep cleaning.
- Apply on clean, dry surface, spread evenly, let dry, and polish.

Conclusion
Proper maintenance can significantly extend the life and appearance of ORCA® fabrics, with some boats remaining in excellent condition after 25 years.

From their design and during all stages of manufacturing, ORCA® fabrics are subject to strict quality control to guarantee their best performance on abrasion, ultra-violet, hydrocarbons and aging. However, there are technical limitations identified during the design of our products based on the requirements of environmental protection. The quality of materials used to manufacture our ORCA® fabrics allows us to guarantee performance for 5 years. Prolonging the life and appearance of your ORCA® fabrics is accomplished only through regular maintenance. Regular maintenance will prolong the life and appearance of your ORCA® fabric: • After each use, clean the fabric of your boat with mild soap and water. • At least once a month and before long-term storage period, you must clean the ORCA® fabric following the specific instructions with the range of cleaning products selected for ORCA® fabric (ww.orca.eu). Under certain conditions of use or storage (humidity, confined under a non-breathable cover, presence of oily residue, etc.), mold, algae or bacteria may appear (spots). It is imperative that as soon as they are discovered they must be treated with the selected cleaning products for ORCA® fabric (www.orca.eu). These spots are related to external causes and do not alter the quality of the fabric, therefore, they are not covered by our warranty contract. Only regular maintenance will guarantee the appearance and durability of the fabric of your boat. Some boats equipped with our ORCA® fabrics and properly maintained are in perfect condition after 25 years. Pennel & Flipo Europe Spray New Magic on to a wet tube.
