Compartment Doors; Upholstery, Carpeting And Draperies - Winnebago 2003 adventurer Owner's Manual

COMPARTMENT DOORS

Apply powdered graphite lubricant to com-
partment door latches periodically as necessary
to keep latches operating smoothly.
If rubber door seals should become sticky,
making the door hard to open, apply a rubber
TM
protectant such as 303
TM
a-Gun , etc.
INTERIOR
UPHOLSTERY, CARPETING AND
DRAPERIES
We recommend a weekly routine of vacuum-
ing all fabrics and carpet throughout the motor
home to prevent an accumulation of dirt which
can detract from the appearance and shorten the
life of carpet and fabrics.
Upholstery
Some fabrics used in this motor home may
contain fire retardant and lightfastness additives
which can be damaged by use of improper clean-
ing products. Some water-based household
cleaning products are not formulated for use on
fabrics and may cause excessive shrinkage or
fading. Always test any cleaning product on a
hidden area of fabric before using on visible
areas. For best results, fabric cleaning should be
referred to a professional carpet and upholstery
cleaner.
NOTE: To minimize fading of upholstery, car-
pets and other interior fabrics caused by
excessive sunlight, the drapes, blinds or
shades should be closed when the motor
home is parked for an extended period of
time.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When cleaning upholstery and fab-
ric, do not use lacquer thinner, nail
polish remover, laundry soaps, or
bleach. Never use carbon tetrachlo-
ride, gasoline, or naptha for any
cleaning purpose. These materials
may cause damage to the material
being cleaned and most are highly
flammable.
Spots and Stains
Spots or stains should be treated as soon as
possible before they "set in" to avoid permanent
damage. Always start from the outside of a spot
or stain and work inward to avoid spreading it.
Use a clean cloth or sponge and turn frequently to
an unused area of the cloth or sponge as you
clean.
Some stains or soils, such as lipstick, ink,
grease or mustard, are extremely difficult or im-
possible to remove completely and should re-
ceive immediate attention. Consult a professional
carpet and upholstery cleaner for assistance.
Leather Upholstery - Driver/Co-Pilot Seats &
Sofa - (Optional)
The optional leather seats are made of top
quality cattle hide soft leather.
· We recommend using a mild soap and water
applied gently to the soild areas. Buff dry
immediately with a soft cloth to avoid water
spotting. Avoid harsh and excessive rubbing
while cleaning. Soft leather needs delicate
care.
· Never use harmful substances (e.g. stain
removers, solvents, saddle soap, shoe polish
or other unsuitable fluids) on soft leather.
Cleaning and touch-up kits specifically
formulated for leather upholstery are avail-
able from most fine furniture dealers.
Vinyl Fabrics
Vinyl should be cleaned with a soft, damp
cloth, and a mild detergent only. Do not use sol-
vents. Solvents may damage the surface of the vi-
nyl.
