Wood Care; Pencil; Blood, Feces Or Urine - Monaco DIPLOMAT 2004 Owner's Manual

Pencil:

Erase as much of the pencil mark as possible. Wipe any remaining
marks with rubbing alcohol.

Blood, Feces or Urine:

Remove these staining substances as quickly as possible. Wash the
stained area with a strong soap. If the stain does not disappear, rinse
the soapy area thoroughly with clean water. Mix a solution of 50%
water and 50% household bleach. Clean the stained area with the
bleach solution. Rinse with clean water.
Wood should be treated the same as a piece of fine furniture. Care and
cleaning of the wood surface is essential in maintaining the natural beauty of
wood. Keep in mind that wood finishes can vary widely. Test a new cleaning
solution in an inconspicuous area to check for possible damage.
The care and cleaning of the solid wood surfaces and the wood products
used in the motorhome depends on individual choices and preferences.
Numerous waxes, polishes and finishing products are available for use.
Always follow the manufacture label and instructions. The solid wood
surfaces should be cleaned weekly. Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Dampen the cloth slightly with water. Wipe one small area at a time and dry
immediately.
For stubborn stains, use a clean cloth dampened with a solution of
mild, non-alkaline soap (like dishwashing liquid) and water. Dry thoroughly
using a soft cloth. Buff lightly, following the direction of the grain. Never
use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or powdered cleansers.
Excessive dampness, dryness, heat, or cold can damage solid wood
finishes. Sunlight can change the color or age the wood. Never allow
moisture or spills to stand, always blot dry immediately. Solvents, alcohol,
nail polish and polish removers, as well as harsh cleaners should not be used
on finished wood surfaces.
Minor damage to solid wood surfaces can be repaired quickly and
effectively with a bit of hard work, some careful attention to details, and
most importantly, the right materials. However, any wood repair or
finishing job is best left for a professionally trained individual.
NOTE: It is important to inform the service technician of any
products used for the care and cleaning in the event of wood
repairs.
