CARE
OF THE UPHOLSTERY
. Cleaning of leatherette upholstery with
a soft cloth or soft brush is recommended. Special care should also be taken
to remove dust and dirt from the seams. Good results can be obtained using
a soft brush and a lukewarm detergent solution. Use the water sparingly, as
the upholstery othe rwise requires a long time to dry if water trickles through
the stitches. Grease and pain
t
spots should be wiped off before
t
hey dry up.
Soaked-in spots can be removed by carefully using a rag moistened with
gasoline or alcohol. Spots caused by shoe polish can be removed with
turpentine. Use these agents carefully and sparingly as otherwise, they
would tend to dissolve the dust-repellent
finish of the leatherette. Solvents
such as trichlor-ethylene
or paint thinner
should
not be used. After
cleaning, the leatherette should
be dried thoroughly
with a soft cloth.
So-called preservatives are not suitable for leatherette because they do
not
soak into the material and will merely collect dust and make clothing
dirty.
CLEANING
GLASS
.Windows can be cleaned by washing with warm water
and wiping dry with a clean, soft linen cloth.
T
o facilitate this task on the
windshield, the arms of the windshield wipers may be tilted forward. To
clean exceptionally dirty windows, use alcohol or household ammonia and
lukewarm water.
