2. To clean the back window use cold or tepid
(not
hot) water and a
mild
(not caustic)
neutral soap suds. After
washing,
rinse with
clear water and
wipe
with
a
slightly moistened clean soft cloth.
CAUTION: Never use solvents or cleaners of alcoholic or other chemical
content. These liquids may possibly have deteriorating
effect
on the plastic

beiow the back window.
3. DO NOT USE A SCRAPER to remove frost,
snow,
or ice from
the
plastic back window. In
an
emergency use warm water. Use
care
that this warm water
does
not contact
.
the actual glass
windows
or
windshield.
CARPET FLOOR COVERINGS
Carpets are either
cemented
or
tacked
down
securely
in place and
should
not be removed unless it is definitely necessary to do so. If
the
carpet
must be removed, it
should
not be
forcibly
pulled loose;
this may cause the nap to pull through the warp
of
the carpet
and
ruin its appearance.
A corner
of the
carpet
should be turned back,
and a
wide-bladed putty
knife
or
similar tool
should
be used to
separate
the
carpet
from its cemented
foundation.
To clean these floor coverings,
first,
brush thoroughly. If soil remains,
use
a
volatile type cleaner. Repeat for heavily embedded
stains.
Extreme care
should
be taken to make certain that carpets are not
"soaked" with the
cleaner. This may cause deterioration of the
rubber
compound
used in the backing construction
of
some carpets.
NOTE: Neutral soap and water may also be used, but at
the
risk of
color
removal.
Make certain that
carpets
are thoroughly dry before closing all
window and
door
openings
to prevent possible mildewing of
the carpet.

This treatment will
suffice
for both
old and
new
stains;
however, no
type of
treatment
will
repair damage to fibres resulting from the
action of the acids on
the fibres-particularly
after
the
spot
has dried.
