Spot Cleaning Fabric Type Trim with
Solvent Type Cleaner
Before trying to remove a spot or stain from
fabric, try to find out the type and age of
the spot or stain. Some spots or stains can
be removed with water or a mild soap
solution. Spots or stains should always be
removed as soon as possible.
Some types of stains or soilage, such as
lipstick, inks, and grease, are very difficult
(sometimes impossible) to remove
completely. When cleaning this type of stain
or soilage, be sure not to enlarge the
soiled area.
Gently scrape excess stain from the trim
material with a clean, dull knife or
scraper. Use very little cleaner, light
pressure, and clean cloths, preferably
cheesecloth. Cleaning should start at the
outside of the stain feathering towards
the center. Keep changing to a clean
section of cloth.
When you clean a stain from fabric,
immediately dry the area with an air
hose, heat dryer, or heat lamp to help
prevent a cleaning ring. Use caution with
heat dryer or lamp to help prevent fabric
damage.
If a ring forms, immediately repeat the
cleaning operation over a slightly larger
area with emphasis on feathering towards
its center. If a ring still remains, mask off
surrounding trim sections and clean the
entire soiled area with a foam type
cleaner.
See Removal of Specific Stains.
Removal of Specific Stains
Greasy or Oily Stains Includes grease, oil,
butter, margarine, shoe polish, coffee with
cream, chewing gum, cosmetic creams,
vegetable oils, wax crayon, tar, and asphalts.
Carefully scrape off excess stain; then use
solvent type cleaner.
Shoe polish, wax crayons, tar, and
asphalts will stain if left on trim; they
should be removed as soon as possible.
Use care as cleaner will dissolve them and
may cause them to bleed.
Non-Greasy Stains Includes catsup, coffee
(black), egg, fruit, fruit juice, milk, soft
drinks, wine, vomit, and blood.
Carefully scrape off excess stain; then
sponge the stain with cool water.
If a stain remains, use Multi-Purpose
Powdered Cleaner (Foam type) as
previously described.
If an odor lingers after cleaning vomit or
urine, treat the area with a water-baking
soda solution: 5 milliliters (1 teaspoon) of
baking soda to 250 milliliters (1 cup) of
lukewarm water.
Finally, if needed, clean lightly with Fabric
Cleaner (Solvent type).
Combination Stains Includes candy, ice
cream, mayonnaise, chili sauce, and
unknown stains.
Carefully scrape off excess stain; then
clean with cool water and allow to dry.
If stain remains, clean it with Fabric
Cleaner (Solvent type).
Cleaning Vinyl Trim
Ordinary soilage can be removed from vinyl
or leather with warm water and mild soap,
such as saddle soap or oil soap, or an
equivalent.
Apply a small amount of soap solution
and let it soak for a few minutes to
loosen dirt; then, rub briskly with a clean,
damp cloth to remove dirt and traces of
soap. This may be done several times,
if needed.
Soilage such as tars, asphalts, shoe polish,
etc., will stain if left on trim. They should
be wiped off as quickly as possible and
