General Information and Cleaning

The interior of all Airstream trailers has been designed
for comfort, convenience, durability, and appearance�
How you use it and how you take care of it, naturally,
depends on you� However, if you learn to operate
the interior components and take care of them and
the trailer properly, this knowledge will add to your
pleasure, as well as the long life of your trailer� All
material should be professionally dry cleaned to
remove any overall soiled condition�

Upholstery

The vinyl upholstery in your Airstream has a
PermaBlok3 vinyl protective coating that's engineered
®
to create a tough, effective barrier against the three
biggest problems: germs, abrasion, and stains� You
can not see it or feel it, yet the protection it offers
results in extended performance and lasting beauty
with minimum care� Most stains can be remove with a
damp cloth and cleaned with a 1:1 mix of Ivory
and water� A 1:1 mix of ammonia and water, or a 1:4
mix of bleach and water can be used for more stubborn
stains� Only if needed a 1:1 mix of isopropyl alcohol
and water can be used� Use only a soft cotton cloth
and rub the stain in a circular motion� Rinse thoroughly
with clean water and pat dry�
NOTE
Never remove cushion covers for separate dry
cleaning or washing. Any tumble cleaning method
can destroy the backing, and/or shrink or otherwise
damage upholstery fabric.

Curtains

The curtains are on a track� Undo the velcro at the
seams to slide them open� Airstream recommends dry
cleaning only for the curtains� To remove them, remove
the top screw from the endcap of the curtain track, pull
the endcap off, and slide the curtains off�
NOTE
All drapery materials and mattress covers must be
professionally dry-cleaned.

Interior Aluminum Skin

Interior aluminum skin can be cleaned by washing with
any mild non-abrasive soap or detergent� Cleaning
should be followed by a thorough clean water rinse�
Drying the unit with a chamois or a soft cloth may
prevent spots and streaks� Do not use abrasive
cleaners or utensils on the aluminum skin as it is
coated with a clear coat that could be damaged�
Airstream recommends using Pledge® All-Purpose
Cleaner to clean interior surfaces including the
aluminum skin�
When washing or polishing your trailer, always
wipe with the grain of the metal.

Interior Woodwork

The finish on the interior woodwork is a high quality
furniture finish and should be treated as any fine
soap
®
furniture finish. Use a high quality furniture cleaner
which does NOT contain ammonia or bleach� One
good choice is Murphy Oil Soap Clean and Shine�

Counter Area

The galley counter tops are made of a solid surface
and can be cleaned with common household cleaners�
For most residues you can clean your counter tops
with warm soapy water, ammonia-based household
cleaners, or a dedicated counter top cleaner, like Clean
EnCounters®� Avoid window cleaners, however, as
they leave a waxy build up that dulls the surface� For
the toughest problems, use Deep Cleaner from Stone
Care International� A mix of 1Tbsp bleach:1 gallon of
water can be used to occasionally disinfect the surface�
The bathroom counter tops are made of a high-
pressure laminate and can be cleaned with soap and
water, or you can use a common solvent on tough
spots� Do not use abrasive cleaners since they could
scratch the surface�

Sinks

Cleaning can be accomplished using a mild liquid
detergent on a soft cloth� A complete home owner's
guide for your sinks is supplied in your owner's packet�
Please read these instructions before use�
