I have a very old main and a new jib (from Catalina Direct). Both need cleaning. What is the best way to do it?
I herd that someone put them into a large commercial washing machine?

All my sails are old, so I just clean them by spreading them out on my driveway and scrubbing them with a brush and soapy water.

I hear a lot of great things about Sailcare.com. I may send all my sails to them this Fall for cleaning and refurbishment.
