When Cleaning the Interior
Remove dirt and dust with a
•
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty
surfaces with a soft cloth
dampened with warm water.
When cleaning leather interior,
•
remove dirt and dust with
a vacuum cleaner. Using a
sponge, apply a small amount
of neutral wool detergent mixed
in water, rubbing in a circular
motion. Wipe off any excess
detergent and let leather dry
in an open-air location.
When cleaning carpet, remove

dirt and dust with a vacuum
cleaner. Apply a foaming-type
carpet cleaner with a sponge or
brush, allowing cleaner to work
for a few minutes to loosen dirt.
Continue by rubbing carpet
in a circular motion. Wipe
off any excess cleaner with a
clean cloth. If any dirt remains,
repeat process. Best results
are obtained by keeping the
carpet as dry as possible.
