Carpeting
Vacuum the carpeting frequently to
remove dirt. Ground-in dirt will make
the carpet wear out faster. Periodi-
cally shampoo the carpet to keep it
looking new. Use one of the foam-
type carpet cleaners on the market.
Follow the instructions that come
with the cleaner, applying it with a
sponge or soft brush. Keep the
carpeting as dry as possible by not
adding water to the foam.
Fabric
Vacuum dirt and dust out of the
material frequently. For general
cleaning, use a solution of mild soap
and lukewarm water, letting it air dry.
To clean off stubborn spots, use a
commercially-available fabric cleaner.
Test it on a hidden area of the fabric
first, to make sure it does not bleach
or stain the fabric. Follow the instruc-
tions that come with the cleaner.

Vinyl
Remove dirt and dust with a vacuum
cleaner. Wipe the vinyl with a soft
cloth dampened in a solution of mild
soap and water. Use the same solu-
tion with a soft-bristle brush on more
difficult spots. You can also use
commercially-available spray or foam-
type vinyl cleaners.
Leather
Vacuum dirt and dust from the
leather frequently. Pay particular
attention to the pleats and seams.
Clean the leather with a soft cloth
dampened with clear water, then buff
it with a clean, dry cloth. If further
cleaning is needed, use a soap spe-
cifically for leather, such as saddle
soap. Apply this soap with a clamp,
soft cloth. Wipe down and buff as
described above.

Seat Belts
If your seat belts get dirty, you can
use a soft brush with a mixture of
mild soap and warm water to clean
them. Do not use bleach, dye, or
cleaning solvents. They can weaken
the belt material. Let the belts air-dry
before you use the car.
