Pucker Power  
When dome fasteners on canvas enclosures become stiff and need lubrication, try a lip balm (e.g., Chap Stick), which is non-greasy and offers the added benefit of UV protection

Get a Spot-Free Shower  
A boat wax applied twice yearly to the walls of a fiberglass (or painted) shower stall makes cleaning easier and reduces water spots. And to combat stale air while your boat is sealed up, stash some laundry dryer sheets, such as Bounce, around the cabin and behind upholstery - we hear it repels some insects too!
