seconds. Continue blotting until no more liquid is taken up. Scrape off
sticky materials with a dull knife, then spot-clean the area.
Oily spots may be cleaned with household spot removers, used
sparingly. Before using any solvent, read the instructions on the container
and test it on an obscure place on the fabric to be cleaned. Never saturate
the fabric with a volatile solvent; it may damage the padding and backing
materials.
Soiled upholstery and carpet may be cleaned with foam-type deter­
gent, used according to the manufacturer's instructions. To minimize
wetting the fabric, keep the foam as dry as possible and remove it with a
vacuum cleaner.
If your airplane is equipped with leather seating, cleaning of the seats
is accomplished using a soft cloth or sponge dipped in mild soap suds. The
soap suds, used sparingly, will remove traces of dirt and grease. The soap
should be removed with a clean damp cloth.
The plastic trim, headliner, instrument panel and control knobs need
only be wiped off with a damp cloth. Oil and grease on the control wheel and
control knobs can be removed with a cloth moistened with Stoddard
solvent. Volatile solvents, such as mentioned in para.graphs on care of the
windshield, must never be used since they soften and craze the plastic.
