Fabrics and fabric coverings
Fabr ics and fabric cover ings (e.g. seats, door
trim pa ne ls, etc.) shou ld be cleaned at regular
int ervals w it h a vac uum cleaner. This removes
surface di rt particles which cou ld become em-
bedded in t he fabri c throug h use. Ste a m
cleaners sho uld not be used, beca use the
steam tends to push the dirt deeper into the
fabric and lock it there .
Normal cleaning
Generally, we recommend using a soft sponge
o r a lint -free microfibe r clo t h to the clean fab-
ric. Brushes shou ld only be used for carpets
and floor mats, since other fabric surfaces
could be harmed by br ushes.
Norma l surface st ains ca n be cleaned using a
commerc ially availab le foam cleaner . Spread
the foam on the surface of t he fabric with a
soft sponge and work it in gently. Do not satu-
rate the fabric. Then pat the foam dry us ing
absorbe nt, dry cloths (e.g. m icrofiber cloth)
and vacuum it after it has dried completely.
Cleaning stains
Stains caused by beverages (e .g. coffee, fr uit
juice, etc.) can be treated with a mild deter-
gent solution. Apply the detergent sol ution
with a spo nge. In the case of stubborn stains,
a detergent paste can be applied directly to
the stain and worked into the fabric. After-
wards, use copious amounts of clean water t o
remove t he rem ai ning de t erge nt. Apply t he
wat er wit h a da m p clot h or sponge a nd pat
the fabric dry with an abso rbent, dry clot h.
Stains from choco late or makeup should have
de terge nt pa ste rubbed into them. After-
wa rds, remove t he soa p wit h wat er (damp
sponge).
Alcohol can be used to treat stains from
grease, oil, lipstic k or a ballpoin t pen. Melted
