ing in the cabin. Vacuuming and occasional rug sham-
pooing are recommended for extended life and appearance.
It is 100% UV stabilized Olefin Polypropylene fiber.

100% UV stabilized Olefin Polypropylene fiber. This is an
exterior grade, high quality carpet with rubber-type back-
ing.

The snap-in carpet may be periodically washed with mild
laundry soaps or shampooed, dried and reinstalled. Addi-

soil release for easy, less costly maintenance. Regular
vacuuming and occasional shampooing help it stay at-
tractive and serviceable.
C. Stain Removal
Vista Owners Manual
10/93
Even the most stubborn stains can be removed from Olefin
fiber following the procedures outlined. A total of thirty-
four stains were selected as being representative of spills
commonly occurring on carpets. Stains were pressed
into the carpet to simulate foot pressure following a spill.
Stains were applied to a two-inch square section and
allowed to penetrate. Removal was performed after two
weeks. Carpets were tested for stain removal by an in-
dependent laboratory. Stain removal was effective for all
34 stains. Results are shown in the table.
Stain Removal Procedure
Regular Maintenance such as vacuuming, hosing or wash-
ing should be performed. Most stains and mildew are
easily removed from carpet made with Olefin fiber using
common household cleaners.
fiber is so resistant to chemical attack that Clorox bleach
may be used to clean up any mildew that may result
from excessive wetness.
