Cleaning Fabric/Carpet
Use a vacuum cleaner often to get rid of dust and loose
dirt. Wipe vinyl, leather, plastic, and painted surfaces
with a clean, damp cloth.
Your GM dealer has cleaners for the cleaning of fabric
and carpet. They will clean normal spots and stains
very well.
If the vehicle has the Ultra Lux
listed procedures except do not use any solvents or
dry cleaning products.
Here are some cleaning tips:
•
Always read the instructions on the cleaner label.

•
Carefully scrape off any excess stain.
•
Use a clean cloth or sponge, and change to a clean
area often. A soft brush may be used if stains are
stubborn.
•
To avoid forming a ring on fabric after spot cleaning,
clean the entire area immediately or it will set.
Most stains can be removed with club soda water.
To clean, use the following instructions:
1. For liquids: blot with a clean, soft white cloth.
For solids: remove as much as possible and
then vacuum or brush.
2. Apply club soda water to a clean, soft white cloth.
Do not over-saturate; the cloth should not drip
water.
3. Clean the entire area. Avoid getting the fabric
too wet.
4. Start cleaning from the seams into the stain to
avoid a ring effect.
5. Continue cleaning, using a clean area of the cloth
each time it becomes soiled.
6. When the stain is removed, blot the cleaned area
with another dry clean, soft white cloth.
