General Information and Cleaning

The interior of each Airstream 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 stain-free properties in all FiberGuard fabrics last
beyond washing and heavy use� All accidental stains
can be removed using only water, but a small amount
of standard white household bar soap can be used if
you have a more challenging stain� Keep in mind that
immediate stain removal will ensure the best result�
For stains like mud, ketchup, lipstick, or silly putty,
remove any stain residue with the edge of a teaspoon
or a flat dull utensil. Apply water to the stain and blot
using a white paper towel� Do not use a circular motion
because it drives the fibers from the paper towel into
the fabric� Repeat the process until you can no longer
see the stain on the paper towel� If the stain remains,
gently rub the area with a microfiber cloth dampened
with water using a circular motion� Use white bar soap,
wipe with clean water, and pat dry if needed�
NOTICE
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�
NOTICE
Do not use any abrasive material, abrasive
cleaners, cloths and pads as there is the
possibility they could scratch the surface.

Aluminum Interior 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.
NOTICE
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�
NOTICE
Do not use any abrasive material, abrasive
cleaners, cloths and pads as there is the
possibility they could scratch the surface. A
protective pad should always be placed under hot
utensils.

Sinks

Cleaning can be accomplished using a mild liquid
detergent on a soft cloth�
