❄️ Spending less time on the water this winter? Make the most of the downtime.

If your yacht isn't getting as much use over winter, now is the ideal time to book your sails in for their annual clean.

Even sails that look clean can be holding onto salt, dirt, pollution and other contaminants that slowly shorten their lifespan. That's why sailmakers recommend regular washing as part of routine sail maintenance.

By giving your sails a professional clean while they're not in use, they'll be fresh, protected and ready to perform when sailing season picks up again.

Winter maintenance means fewer jobs to do when the weather warms up... and more time enjoying the water. ⛵

⏱️ Need your sails back in a hurry?

At Vacuwash, our maximum turnaround time is just five working days.

Drop your sails off on a Monday and, in most cases, they'll be ready for the weekend. If you're working to a tighter schedule, let us know. We can often turn them around even faster.

Using our Australia-wide courier service? Simply allow an extra week for shipping.

Because we'd rather see your sails back on the water than sitting in our workshop. ⛵

“Vacuwash cleaned our Dedon outdoor furniture cushion covers. Unbelievable result!

“I had tried everything to remove the mildew. Nothing had worked. Vacuwash has restored our cushion covers to new!

“Would highly recommend.”

💡 Did you know?

When Vacuwash built its second cleaning tank, we had it manufactured locally in Sydney.

Built to the same proven design as our original tank, it was produced right here in Australia and meets all the required certifications. The only change? An upgraded electroplated finish for even greater durability.

Supporting local manufacturing while investing in the future of Vacuwash means we can continue delivering the same trusted cleaning process our customers have relied on for years.

We're proud to be a local, family-owned Australian business, and now we're just as proud to be cleaning your sails with an Australian-built Vacuwash tank. 🇦🇺

🦠 Mould called... it wants its home back.

Unfortunately for mould, Vacuwash isn't known for being a very welcoming host. 😄

Our specialised cleaning process is highly effective at removing mould from sails, tents, boat covers, awnings and other marine and outdoor fabrics, helping restore them to a cleaner, fresher condition.

So if mould has made itself a little too comfortable, it's time to show it the door.

Your canvas deserves better roommates. 😉

🏕️ Were you brave enough to go camping in winter these school holidays? ❄️

Whether you're heading off for a weekend away or a longer family adventure, your tent is bound to come home with a few extra souvenirs... mud, tree sap, dust, salt and maybe even a little mould.

Before you pack your tent away, book it in for a professional clean.

A thorough clean helps remove built-up grime, protects the fabric and means you'll be greeted by a fresh, clean tent next time you head outdoors, instead of unwanted surprises.

Enjoy your camping adventure now... we'll help with the clean-up when you get home! 🏕️✨

The future of sailing is smarter than ever.

A recent article on the groundbreaking Project Zero superyacht (a 70m yacht built with no combustion to help build the future of emission-free yachting) shows just how important sails will be in the next generation of sustainable boating.

✔️Instead of simply propelling the yacht, the sails play a key role in generating clean energy.

✔️Lidar (laser scanning) creates a live 3D image of the sails while underway, continuously analysing sail shape and recommending trim adjustments for optimum performance.

✔️This better sail trim means greater efficiency, allowing onboard hydro-generators to produce enough electricity to power many of the yacht's onboard systems while under sail.

✔ ️And the carbon fibre biminis are fitted with 100m2 of panels that can produce 23kW!

It's an exciting glimpse into the future, where sails are no longer just a means of propulsion. They're part of the yacht's power plant.
