Fabric/Carpet - Cadillac 2005 SRX Owner's Manual

Fabric/Carpet

Use a vacuum cleaner often to get rid of dust and loose
dirt. Wipe vinyl, leather, plastic, and painted surfaces
with a clean, damp cloth.
GM-approved cleaning products can be obtained from
your dealer.
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.
•
To avoid forming a ring on fabric after spot cleaning,
clean the entire area immediately or it will set.

Most stains can be removed with club soda water.
To clean, use the following instructions:
1. For liquids: blot with a clean, soft, white cloth.
For solids: remove as much as possible and
then vacuum or brush.
2. Apply club soda water to a clean, soft, white cloth.
Do not over-saturate; the cloth should not
drip water.
3. Clean the entire area. Avoid getting the fabric
too wet.
4. Start cleaning from the seams into the stain to
avoid a ring effect.
5. Continue cleaning, using a clean area of the cloth
each time it becomes soiled.
6. When the stain is removed, blot the cleaned area
with another dry, clean, soft, white cloth.
