If you own a Jeep with a soft top that has built up dirt and debris from daily travels than you want to clean it safely without causing any damage.
Jeep owners have two options when considering how to go about cleaning their soft top. This includes manually cleaning with a cleaning rag or using an automatic sprayer. To safely hand wash a soft top, you will want to stop into your local auto parts shop and purchase Jeep soft top cleaner. This cleaner will be less aggressive than a hard top cleaner, in order to protect the coloring and material of the soft top, while still getting the job done.
If you decide to use a power sprayer, you can either use one found at self cleaning car wash stations, or a power sprayer at foud at home. Both sprayers will work to the extent you place them at, always be sure to check and see if the power setting on your personalized sprayer is low enough to not do damage to the Jeep soft top, but powerful enough to get off any set in dirt.
Once you've decided which method of cleaning to use you want to be sure to use warm water if at all possible to keep the soft top from reacting and shrinking. If cold water can't be avoided than it will work, but warm water is preferable. Once the soft top is adequately clean be sure to plan for a long window of drying time in an open area before adding the top back on and driving away. There is nothing worse than driving and having your soft top dripping on the inside because you didn't allow enough time to dry.
Do remember that your Jeep's soft top material is made a canvas material that can rip if the power cleanser is too strong, or if you scrub too much in one area. Be aware of the existence of rocks and pebbles that could rip open the material during the cleaning.
Whether you choose to clean by hand or power cleanser, you want to be sure to take proper care of your Jeep soft top in the cleaning process, being sure to avoi doing any permanent damage to the material.
Of course if your Jeep soft top is dirty beyond repair, you can always consider replacing the top altogether. Visit www.jeep4x4center.com for great prices on soft tops and other Jeep parts. The Jeep specialists will help you pick the right soft top for your Jeep.
