FABRIC CARE

Cushions/Bed Mats

Please use common sense and treat your furniture as you would at home. Remember,
your folding damping trailer is a small living area, so soiling may occur more frequently
and the fabric will probably need more attention than your furniture at home. Please
follow these guidelines for cleaning upholstery fabrics on the cushions/bed mats.
All cushion/bed mat covers are treated with 3M Scotch Guard® fabric protector. Fre-
quent vacuuming with a brush attachment or a light hand brushing will help remove dust,
hair, sand and other particles which may dull the look of the fabric and accelerate wear.
Water base cleaners are recommended. If a spill does occur, blot up the spot, but do not
rub it in. Solvents are not recommended since they may have an adverse reaction to the
specific backing of your upholstery fabric. Do not saturate the area. Clean in a well
ventilated area and avoid products containing toxic materials. Always pre-test a small
area before proceeding. Use a professional furniture cleaning service for an overall
cleaning.
A reminder: The upholstery fabrics have been manufactured using quality materials.
However, if abused, they are not completely resistant to damage.
CAUTION: Do not dry clean the covers of the cushions/bed mats. If the covers are
dry cleaned, the vinyl will become hard and crack.

SoftShades™

SoftShades™ should be dry cleaned by a professional for best results. However, they
may be washed in cool water on the delicate cycle. Line dry only.
CAUTION: Care must be taken to follow above instructions or results may not be
satisfactory.

Tents

Proper care and maintenance are important for the life of your folding camping trailer's
tent. We recommend the following list of suggestions be adhered to when there is a need
to clean the tents.

Exterior

• If the tent becomes dirty, use a damp cloth or sponge with water. Do not use harsh
detergents, soaps or solvents since they may remove water repellency, fire retardants, and
damage the surface or color.
• Do not use aerosol type cleaners.
• Do not use insect repellent, hair sprays or suntan lotions around fabrics as they may stain
fabrics and damage or destroy water repellency. If accidental contact occurs, apply 3M
Scotch Guard® fabric protector or utilize a professional to provide water repellant treat-
ment.
• Be sure to clean bird droppings, tree sap, dirt and soot from campfires off of the tent.
