moquette

Alessandro Varago
Hello to all,
has anyone ever tried to remove moquette from cabinets? Or found an effective way to renew or clean it? After so many years it has numerous signs of rust and dirt. many thanks, Alessandro SM351 Meraki Trieste |

It can be cleaned. The fiber is Draylon and you can use the same cleaning process as Nylon, including alcohol.

Thanks for useful information Bill, what do you mean by using alcohol, alcohol-based products or pure alcohol?
So, no one has ever tried to remove it? |

Ours were badly stained and even moldy in a number of cabinets and spaces. I removed those sections with the judicious use of pliers and vise grips. I then soaked them for an hour in a solution of oxidizing laundry powder and washed them at 50C. I’d recommend using a spray-on contact adhesive such as 3M Super 77. Amel used a brush-on adhesive that soaked in deeply in a few places that ended up making removal difficult.

Hello. I did remove them. No problem at all. Then I used them as patterns to have new ones made. Víctor SM314 Alendoy |

Hi Bill, Most of the ones I tore out were in the cubbies behind the forward head where someone stuffed a holding tank that eventually leaked. I’m in the process of rebuilding that area as the wood upon which the liner was glued is fully saturated—I will be glassing them in and putting a nice white coating of epoxy on top of it.  Here is the material after I washed it. Before this experiment Jeannette wanted me to throw it away. But to give an even better example, tomorrow I’ll post some before and after photos of the material on the bottoms of the two drawers under the settee. I’m pulling them out right now.

I also tried removing the moquette from one cabinet but I am left with dried glue and don't know how to remove it to clean and glue a new covering, also because some of it is glued directly into the hull fiberglass. Did you use solvents? Can nitro thinner be used on fiberglass in your opinion?

Hi all, I was able to buy a roll of identical material in Opua New Zealand. I pulled the old material out, cut the new to size and fitted it fixing it with Ados spray contact adhesive, Very easily done

Danny, do you have any details on the brand and pattern? What you bought in Opua was likely imported from the EU.

The glue is water soluble. For the two drawers I did this evening, I poured hot water onto the material and then used my hand as a squeegee. I let it sit for about 5-10 minutes and was able to peel it away easily. If you need to get the old glue off, a hand steam cleaner would probably be the best solution. Once the old adhesive is dry, though, you should be able to put a spray adhesive on directly over it.

Danny,
I'm really interested to know what this material is and exactly where you got it. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437 |

Here is the result of the before and after cleaning.     It’s possible I could have gotten a bit more of the staining out if I’d run it through the wash again, but that’s good enough for me. Cheers, Tilo Ambiente, SM 163 On 8 Feb 2023, at 08:05, Alan Leslie <s.v.elyse@...> wrote:

Great job! This shows the durability of Draylon fiber! Draylon is an acrylic fiber made in Europe by Bayer. It is one of the most expensive acrylics made. It is as soft as silk and more durable than nylon. Bill
