Cleaning Fabrics; Removal Of Specific Stains - Chevrolet 1971 Camaro Owner's Manual

Cleaning Fabrics with
Cleaning Fluid
This type of cleaner should be
used for cleaning stains containing
grease, oil or fats. Excess stain
should be gently scraped off with
a clean dull knife or scraper. Use
very little cleaner, light pressure,
and clean cloths (preferably cheese
cloths). Cleaning action with cloth
should be from outside of stain to-
wards center and constantly chang-
ing to a clean section of cloth.
When stain is cleaned from fabric,
immediately wipe area briskly with
a clean absorbent towel or cheese
cloth to help dry area and prevent
a cleaning ring. If ring forms, im-
mediately clean entire area or panel
section of the trim assembly.
NOTE: Sometimes a difficult spot
may require a second application
of cleaning fluid followed immedi-
ately by a soft brush to completely
remove the spot.
Cleaning Fabrics with
Detergent Foam Cleaners
This type of cleaner is excellent
for cleaning general soilage from
fabrics and for cleaning a panel sec-
tion where a minor cleaning ring
may be left from spot cleaning.
Vacuum area to remove excess
loose dirt. Always clean at least a
full trim panel or section of trim.
Mask adjacent trim along stitch or
weld lines. Mix detergent type foam
cleaners in strict accordance with
directions on label of container.
Use foam only on a clean sponge or
48
soft bristle brush - Do not wet
fabric excessively or rub harshly
with brush. Wipe clean with a
slightly damp absorbent towel or
cloth. Immediately after cleaning
fabric, dry fabric with a dry towel
or hair dryer. Rewipe fabric with
dry absorbent towel or cloth to re-
store the luster of the trim and to
eliminate any dried residue.
