General Information and Cleaning

The interior of each Airstream Tommy Bahama Touring
Coach has been designed for comfort, convenience,
durability, and appearance� How you use it and how
you take care of it, naturally, depends on you� However,
if you learn to operate the interior components and
take care of them and the touring coach properly, this
knowledge will add to your pleasure, as well as the
long life of your touring coach� All material should be
professionally dry cleaned to remove any overall soiled
condition�

Upholstery

The best way to keep your Ultraleather seating looking
great is regular cleaning to prevent excess dirt from
accumulating� To help extend the life of the fabric,
wipe up spills as soon as they occur� Clean with soap
and water� Sanitize using disinfectants such as (1:5)
bleach/water solution� For stubborn stains, wipe off
with isopropyl alcohol as soon as possible� Thoroughly
rinse all solution residue with clean water and air dry�
NOTE
Never remove cushion covers for separate dry
cleaning or washing. Any tumble cleaning method
can destroy the backing, and/or shrink or otherwise
damage upholstery fabric.

Cabinets and Overhead Lockers

The furniture is manufactured from a high-pressure
laminate and can be cleaned with soap and water,
or you can use a common solvent on tough spots�
Furniture polish can be used sparingly� Plexiglass
doors must be cleaned with a anti-static cleaner and
cloth� Windex or common ammonia products will
damage the coating on the surface�
NOTE
Do not use any abrasive material, abrasive
cleaners, cloths and pads as there is the possibility
they could scratch the surface.

Aluminum Interior Roof Skin

The metal interior skin on the ceiling is coated with
a baked-on acrylic coating� Use soft rags or wash
mitts always moving lengthwise with the grain of
the aluminum� NEVER rub hard on the coating� Oil,
grease, dust, and dirt may be removed by washing with
a 5 percent solution of commonly used commercial and
industrial multi-purpose detergent in water� Cleaning
should be followed by a thorough clean water rinse�
Drying the metal with a chamois or a soft cloth may

prevent spots and streaks� When washing or waxing
the metal, always wipe "with" the grain of the metal� A
good grade of nonabrasive automotive paste or liquid
wax once a year will increase the life of the finish.
CAUTION
Abrasive polishes or cleaning solvents such as
automatic dishwasher or acid etch cleaners are
too strong and should never be used. Rinse all
grit from surface prior to washing. Use soft rags
always moving lengthwise with the unit. NEVER
rub with excessive pressure on the coating. Even
the softest rag will damage the coating if excessive
pressure is applied.

Counter Area

The countertops are made of a solid surface and can
be cleaned with soap and water, or you can use a
common solvent on tough spots� Do not use abrasive
cleaners since they could scratch the surface� A
protective pad should always be used under hot
utensils or pans� A light sanding of minor damaged
areas can repair the counters� The color of the material
is constant and not just a surface coat�

Sinks

Cleaning can be accomplished using a mild liquid
detergent on a soft cloth� A complete home owner's
guide for your sinks is supplied in your owner's packet�
Please read these instructions before use�

Luxury Woven Vinyl Floor

One of the best ways to keep the floor looking good
is to wipe fabrics off on a weekly basis with clean
water� This helps prevent dirt from becoming deeply
embedded in the fabric and eliminates the need for
more vigorous cleaning� For general or light cleaning,
brush off loose dirt and wipe down the floor. Prepare a
solution of water and mild soap such as dish washing
liquid or household cleaner� Using a soft bristle brush
to clean, apply a small amount of water and soap
mixture to the stain� Rinse thoroughly until all soap
residue is removed. Allow the floor to air dry. For more
stubborn stains and mildew, prepare a solution of 1 cup
bleach and 1/4 cup mild soap per gallon of water� Apply
a small amount of bleach and soap mixture to the stain
and blot with a sponge or clean towel� Rinse thoroughly
to remove all soap residue� Allow to air dry� A citrus
based cleaner like D-Limonene can be used for tough
dirt and grease spots� Ammonium based products are
NOT recommended� All cleaning products need to be
rinsed off thoroughly and air dried after cleaning�
