Interior Care - Fabrics; Fabric Cleaning Codes - Monaco DIPLOMAT 2004 Owner's Manual

Spray Foam: Used as a sealant where a hole has been made for
items such as water lines or wires that are coming through a floor
opening.
Most fabrics have a designated cleaning code assigned to them. The cleaning
code is determined, in most cases, by the content of the fabric. The code
represents the cleaning agent and method that is approved by the fabric industry.
If the fabric is abused, it can be damaged. Special care needs to be taken when
the motorhome is exposed to a very humid climate for an extended period of
time. Cover all upholstery and make sure window coverings are down to protect
from sun damage.
Protect the fabric from any unnecessary exposure to moisture. Frequently
used items will wear accordingly and may require more attention than those
items not regularly used.
Use the following guidelines for cleaning upholstery fabrics.
• Water-based cleaners are not recommended.
• If a spill does occur, blot the soiled area. Do not rub it.
• Some solvents are not recommended since they may have an adverse
reaction on a specific backing of the upholstery fabric.
• To prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming or light brushing are
recommended to remove dust and grime.
• Clean spots using a mild water-free solvent or dry cleaning product.
• Clean only in a well ventilated area and avoid any product
containing carbon tetrachloride or other toxic materials.
• Use a professional furniture cleaning service for overall cleaning.
The codes listed below refer to cleaning instructions recommended by the fabric
manufacturing industry. Since most fabrics are hand-selected it is up to you to
obtain the cleaning code for a particular fabric. If a spill occurs blot the moisture
as quickly as possible. Do not use soap and hot water as this may set a stain.
Obtain the cleaning code for the fabric as soon as possible.
"W" - Clean this fabric with the foam only of a water-based cleaning agent
to remove the overall soil. Many household cleaning solvents are harmful
to the color and life of a fabric. Cleaning only by a professional furniture
cleaning service is recommended. To prevent overall soil, frequent vacuuming
or light brushing to remove dust and grime is recommended.
"S" - Clean this fabric with pure solvents (petroleum distillate-based
products such as Energine, Carbona, Renuzit, or similar products may be
used) in a well ventilated room. Cleaning only by a professional furniture
cleaning service is recommended.
