Fabric/Carpet - Chevrolet 2006 Equinox Owner's Manual

Do not clean your vehicle using the following cleaners
or techniques:
•
Never use a knife or any other sharp object to
remove a soil from any interior surface.
•
Never use a stiff brush. It can cause damage to
your vehicle's interior surfaces.
•
Never apply heavy pressure or rub aggressively
with a cleaning cloth. Use of heavy pressure
can damage your interior and does not improve the
effectiveness of soil removal.
•
Use only mild, neutral-pH soaps. Avoid laundry
detergents or dishwashing soaps with degreasers.
Using too much soap will leave a residue that
leaves streaks and attracts dirt. For liquid cleaners,
about 20 drops per gallon (3.78 L) of water is a
good guide.
•
Do not heavily saturate your upholstery while
cleaning.
•
Damage to your vehicle's interior may result from
the use of many organic solvents such as naptha,
alcohol, etc.

Cleaning 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.
Your GM dealer has cleaners for the cleaning of fabric
and carpet. They will clean normal spots and stains
very well.
If the vehicle has the Ultra Lux
listed procedures except do not use any solvents or
dry cleaning products.
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.
