Vacuwash Australia Vacuwash is Australia's only purpose built sail and canvas cleaning facility, now in it's 11th year Give your sails a facelift and a second life.

Vacuwash is the only professional sail and canvas cleaning facility in Australia. No need to buy new sails if they still have miles left just because you'd like to get the good looks back. We refer to Vacuwash as the "green and clean" method of cleaning your sails. Our cleaning solutions are used more then once. After the cleaning process the fabrics are hung to air dry in a purpose fitted out facility. No drying machines are used which saves energy and the environment. Have your sails cleaned now to ensure they look as clean and polished as the rest of your yacht.

Taking your dodger or bimini off for cleaning?

Use the opportunity to reach the areas that are usually hidden underneath.

It can be a handy time to clean around the frame, check fittings and organise any work that is easier with the canvas removed.

A little coordination now can help you tick several jobs off your boat maintenance list.

What do you buy someone who already has a boat and a shed full of boating gear? 🎁

Here’s an idea: offer to organise professional cleaning for their sails or marine canvas.

It’s a practical gift that puts something they already own back in the spotlight.

Contact Vacuwash to discuss the items and arrangements before making your birthday surprise.

⛵ How much technology is too much in offshore racing?

Innovation has always been part of sailing, but how do we balance technological advances with the skill, judgement and effort of the crew?

World Sailing’s Oceanic and Offshore Committee is planning a global survey to hear from sailors, boat owners, crews and race organisers about technology’s impact on offshore racing.

The aim is to hear the sailing community’s views before deciding the way forward. Survey dates and participation details are still to be announced.

We’d love to hear your thoughts: where would you draw the line between helpful technology and letting it do too much of the sailing? 👇

Throwback to one of the more unusual sails entrusted to Vacuwash: the sails of the historic Julie Burgess.

Built in Tasmania in 1936, Julie Burgess is a traditional ketch with an important connection to Bass Strait’s maritime history.

Following the Vacuwash treatment, the Bass Strait Maritime Centre described the result as excellent and noted the care taken with the sails.

Cleaning heritage sails requires the same principle we apply to every job: remove contaminants without subjecting the material to scrubbing, agitation, heat or pressure washing.

From family trailer sailers to historic working vessels, every sail has a story.

“You guys certainly didn't disappoint, not only were the sails done in record time and delivered on a weekend ready for our trip to Hobart, they look amazing!

“Once again, thanks for the great service. We're happy to recommend you to anyone.”

Thank you, Sean and Megan. We’re so pleased we could get your sails cleaned and back to you in time for your trip to Hobart, and that you were so happy with the results.

Do you have mould-affected sails you need cleaned in record time?

Live interstate and need your sails professionally cleaned?

Getting them to Vacuwash in Sydney may be easier and more affordable than you think.

Many customers simply leave their sails with their local sailmaker, who then arranges transport to us. You can also organise delivery directly through TNT Easy Send or another logistics provider of your choice.

For smaller sails, Australia Post may be a suitable option, depending on the parcel’s weight and dimensions.

Your sails are insured by Vacuwash from collection through to their return delivery, so you don’t need to pay for additional transit insurance.

Wherever you are in Australia, contact us to discuss the easiest way to get your sails to Vacuwash.

Before replacing stained sails or canvas, it’s worth doing the maths.

Vacuwash cleaning currently costs $13 per square metre for sails and $18 per square metre for canvas. Depending on the fabric and item, that can be around 10% of the cost of replacement.

Cleaning won’t fix sailcloth that has structurally deteriorated or repair physical damage.

However, if the material is still serviceable and the main problem is dirt, salt, mould or staining, professional cleaning may extend its useful life considerably.

That’s better for your boating budget and keeps usable material out of landfill.

Ask us to assess your sails or canvas before assuming they need replacing.
