Appearance Care; Care And Cleaning Of Interior Soft Trim - Chevrolet 1971 Camaro Owner's Manual

APPEARANCE CARE
Care and Cleaning
of Interior Soft Trim
Dust and loose dirt that accumu-
late on interior fabric trim should
be removed frequently with a vac-
uum cleaner, whisk broom or soft
brush. Vinyl or leather trim should
be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Normal cleanable trim soilage,
spots or stains can be cleaned with
the proper use of trim cleaners
available through General Motors
dealers or other reputable supply
outlets. Before attempting to re-
move spots or stains from uphol-
stery, determine as accurately as
possible the nature and age of the
spot or stain. Some spots or stains
can be removed satisfactorily with
water or mild soap solution (refer
to accompanying "Removal of Spe-
cific Stains"). For best results,
spots or stains should be removed
as soon as possible. Some types of
stains or soilage such as lipsticks,
some inks, certain types of grease,
mustard, etc., are extremely diffi-
cult and, in some cases, impossible
to completely remove. When clean-
ing this type of stain or soilage, care
must be taken not to enlarge the
soiled area. It is sometimes more
desirable to have a small stain than
an enlarged stain as a result of care-
less cleaning.
