AIRSTREAM INTERNATIONAL TRAILER OWNERS MANUAL
Wall covering
For general dirt and grime spots, sponging with the foam from a mild detergent or upholstery shampoo
should remove the accumulated dirt and grime spot. Oxy-clean cleaning solution will work for most spot
applications. Rinse well with a clean sponge to remove traces of the water based cleaning solution. Oil or
grease spots will respond to mild solvent or dry-cleaning agents. Follow directions carefully and use only in
a well-ventilated area. Do not rub excessively. Try the blot method to prevent the fabric from fuzzing. To
prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming or light brushing to prevent dust and grime is recommended.
When an over-all soiling condition is reached, use a professional furniture cleaning service.
Carpet
The carpet can be cleaned with any good commercial carpet cleaner, or with a detergent and water. BE
CAREFUL NOT TO SOAK THE CARPET WITH WATER.
Vinyl Floor
The vinyl floor in your unit can be cleaned with liquid floor cleaning solutions recommended for vinyl
floors and warm water.
Counter Area
The counter areas around the sink are of a high-pressure laminate and can be cleaned with soap and water,
or you can use a common solvent on tough spots. Be sure no abrasive cleaner is used, as there is the
possibility it could scratch the surface. A protective pad should always be placed under hot utensils.
Vinyl Covering
Damp wiping with mild detergent does routine cleaning. Using automotive or household cleaners designed
for vinyl upholstery will perform more thorough cleaning.
Sinks
Cleaning can be accomplished using mild liquid detergent with a soft cloth. A complete Home Owners
Guide for your sinks is supplied in your Owner's Folder. Please read these instructions before use.
Shower Stall
To clean your fiberglass shower stall unit use warm water and one of the stronger liquid detergents. Do not
use abrasive cleaners, they may scratch and dull the surface of your fiberglass unit. Stubborn stains can be
removed with solvents such as turpentine, paint thinner or acetone. Restore dulled areas by rubbing with an
automotive type liquid cleaner then put the soft glow back into your fiberglass unit with a light application
of liquid wax. Chips and gel-coat cracks can be repaired. Check with local repair shops or your dealer for
this service.
Dinette
The dinette is made into a bed by rising up on the front of the table and folding the table leg up against the
bottom of the leaf. As the table is raised it will unhook from the upper wall brackets. Once it is unhooked it
can be pulled out and the wall hinge will let it be lowered on the supports of the dinette seats. The backrests
of the seats are placed over the table to complete the conversion.
