CARE A N D CLEANING OF INTERIOR SOFT TRIM
Dust and loose dirt that accumulate on interior fabric
trim should be removed frequently with a vacuum cleaner,
wisk broom or soft brush. Vinyl or leather trim should
be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Normal cleanable trim
soilage, spots or stains can be cleaned with the proper
use of trim cleaners available through General Motors
dealers or other reputable supply outlets. Before attempt­
ing to remove spots or stains from upholstery, determine
as accurately as possible the nature and age of the spot
or stain. Some spots or stains can be removed satis­
factorily with water or mild soap solution (refer to ac­
companying " Removal of Specific Stains"). For best
results, spots or stains should be removed as soon as
possible. Some types of stains or soilage such as lip­
sticks, some inks, certain types of grease, mustard, etc.,
are extremely difficult and, in some cases, impossible to
completely remove. When cleaning this type of stain or
soilage, care must be taken not to enlarge the soiled area.
It is sometimes more desirable to have a small stain
than an enlarged stain as a result of careless cleaning.
