Cleaning Fabric/Carpet; Using Cleaner On Fabric - Buick 2004 Rendezvous Owner's Manual

Cleaning Fabric/Carpet

Your dealer has cleaners for the cleaning of fabric and
carpet. They will clean normal spots and stains very well.
You can get GM-approved cleaning products from your
dealer. See Vehicle Care/Appearance Materials on
page 5-106.
Here are some cleaning tips:
•
Always read the instructions on the cleaner label.
•
Clean up stains as soon as you can — before
they set.
•
Carefully scrape off any excess stain.
•
Use a clean cloth or sponge, and change to a clean
area often. A soft brush may be used if stains are
stubborn.
•
If a ring forms on fabric after spot cleaning, clean
the entire area immediately or it will set.
