Section 12: Interior
Cleaning The Interior
To keep the value of your recreation vehicle, perform regular maintenance using the proper
materials and procedures. Using the wrong cleaner may result in damage to the surfaces in
your vehicle. Check with the manufacturer's information for the recommended cleaning
agent. If in doubt, check to see if the cleaner will cause damage by testing a small area out
of sight or contact your dealer for assistance. Do not use flammable liquids or sprays to
clean the recreation vehicle.
Décor Glass (if so equipped)
Use a glass cleaner to remove smudges, smears and spots. If there is decorative etching on
the décor glass, use care when cleaning around that area.
Furniture Upholstery
Vacuum the furniture upholstery 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 that may have been treated to be fire
resistant. For more information, refer to the specific furniture manufacturer's care instruc-
tions.
Ultraleather™ (if so equipped): It is recommended the Ultraleather™ be professionally
cleaned if it becomes stained or soiled. For more information, refer to the specific furniture
manufacturer's care instructions.
Leather (if so equipped): Periodic vacuuming, using a dry cloth to wipe up spills imme-
diately, and using a damp cloth on problem areas, will help to keep your leather furniture in
good condition. Leather surfaces can vary, as do the cleaning methods. Refer to the furni-
ture manufacturer's recommendation, or consult a cleaning professional.
It is recommended you do not use any cleaners containing oils, waxes or silicones. Cleaners
containing silicone can eventually destroy the finish on the leather. Cleaners containing oils
or waxes should not be used as they leave residues on the surface of the leather, which can
attract more dirt and eventually lead to cracking.
Window Treatments
Fabric – Drapes and Valances: Dust occasionally with a vacuum and soft brush attach-
ment. It is recommended the fabric be professionally cleaned if it becomes stained or soiled.
The professional cleaner should be made aware the fabrics that may have been treated to be
fire resistant.
Window Shades
Shades should be vacuumed periodically to remove dust. Using your vacuum cleaner's
upholstery brush on low suction will remove most dust and dirt from the shade. Refer to the
shade manufacturer's owner's manual for additional and detailed information.
To remove stuck on dust or stains refer to the following guide.
Solar Shields: Use a sponge or soft brush and water to remove stains. A mild cleaning
solution can be used to remove tougher stains. Rinse after cleaning by wetting a clean cloth
in fresh water, wringing our any excess and wiping the areas where the cleaner was used.
Day/Night Shades: Clean with a mild cleaning solution using a sponge or paper towel.
Wipe down with water after cleaning and dry thoroughly before raising the shade. Do not
use spot remover, household cleaners or detergents to remove soiled spots, as these may
cause damage to fabric or loss of color from fading.
Mini Blinds: A simple dry rag may do the trick. If they are especially dirty, you can use
cold or warm water to clean them; never use hot water.
