To retain the value of your RV, maintain the
furniture upholstery carefully and keep the
interior clean. Vacuum the furniture regularly
using a soft brush attachment to remove any
loose dirt or debris.
Fabric (if so equipped)
It is recommended the fabric be professionally
cleaned if it becomes stained or soiled. The
professional cleaner should be made aware
the fabrics have been treated to be fire
resistant. After the cleaning process, please
remember to have the fabric re-treated to help
ensure your personal safety.
Suede Upholstery (if so equipped)
It
is
recommended
professionally cleaned if it becomes stained
or soiled.
Vinyl Upholstery (if so equipped)
Do not dry clean vinyl components. If they are
dry cleaned, the vinyl on the reverse side will
shrink, become hard and crack. If a spill does
occur water base cleaners are recommended
(solvents are not recommended as they may
have an adverse reaction to the specific
backing of your upholstery fabric). Blot up the
spot, but do not rub it in or saturate the area.
Clean it in a well ventilated area and avoid
products containing toxic materials. Use a
professional furniture cleaning service for an
overall cleaning.

Décor items such as window treatments, night
pleated shades, mini blinds and décor glass
should be cared for as follows:
Window treatments and curtains
Dust occasionally with a vacuum and soft
brush attachment. Due to fire retardant
chemicals, they should be professionally
cleaned only. The professional cleaner should
be made aware that these items have been
treated with a fire retardant.
Décor Glass (if so equipped)
Use a glass cleaner to remove smudges,
smears and spots. If there is any decorative
etching on the décor glass, use care when
cleaning around that area.

ATTRESS
A standard mattress should be flipped every
three months to help retain quality. Start by
removing all bedding and sheets. Thoroughly
vacuum the mattress before turning. Have
someone stand on the other side of the bed to
act as 'catcher' when the mattress is flipped
and then vacuum the exposed side before
putting replacing the bedding and sheets.

original beauty with reasonable care. Dust
and wipe clean with soft, damp cloth or
chamois, wiping gently. Do not use gritty or

biodegradable cleaners which contain "D-
