Cleaning of Alcantara Trimmed Roof Lining and Interior Components
Recommendations
1. Clean the stain immediately.
Clean the stain working from the edge to the centre of the spot to prevent a ring forming.
Delicately remove most of the dirt with a blunt scraper and immediately blot the spot with a clean white cloth.
Once you've identified the type of stain, follow the instructions in the spot removal chart.
Never pour a solvent directly on the spot; instead pour the solvent on a clean cloth.
After you've applied the spot remover, remove it with a dry clean cloth. Afterwards, brush the area against the
material nap.
7. Let the spot dry. Do not sit on a humid part. Afterwards, vacuum the spot with a vacuum cleaner.
