Interior care

The interior will continue to look its
best if it is cleaned often. Dust and
dirt can accumulate on the
upholstery and cause damage to the
carpet, fabric, leather, and plastic
surfaces. Stains should be removed
quickly as extreme heat could cause
them to set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require
more frequent cleaning.
Newspapers and garments that can
transfer color to home furnishings
can also transfer color to the interior.
Remove dust from small buttons and
knobs with a small brush with soft
bristles.
When cleaning the interior, only use
cleaners specifically designed for the
surfaces that are being cleaned.
