Washing, cleaning, scrubbing "The Cathedral" !

November 06, 2017 by Lukasz Kumanowski

I took a day off from work to finish the job of cleaning Meritaten.
The reason for hurry is a threat of coming freezing temperatures - I don’t want to be caught with water in bilge and wet interior.

Armed with “Grön Såpa” (mild detergent for wood, smells lanolin), brushes and hose with water I started early in the morning. Frame after frame, section after section I was moving from stem till stern. It took me 14 hours to finish but now interior is smelling fresh finally!

I started industrial blower on cold air mode to speed up drying and left for home.

Tomorrow I will start oiling the interior.
