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�
Performatex®
Remove as much loose dirt as possible� A mild
detergent mixed with lukewarm water should be tried
first to clean the fabric. For more stubborn stains,
bleached can be used as follows: Prepare a solution
of one cup of bleach and one fourth cup of mild soap
per gallon of cold to lukewarm water� Spray the solution
on entire area to be cleaned and allow 15 minutes to
soak into the fabric� Clean the entire surface area with
a sponge, clean towel or very soft bristle brush to avoid
abrading the fabric� Rinse thoroughly to remove all
soap residue, then air dry� For severe cases of mold/
mildew growth, bleach quantities may be increased� It
is best to clean the entire surface area of the fabric to
avoid water rings and stains�
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.
Keep your furniture and family safe from fires
caused by careless smoking. Do not smoke when
drowsy. Remove immediately any glowing ash
or a lighted cigarette that falls onto furniture.
Smoldering smoking material can cause
upholstered furniture fires.
Draperies
Remove the draperies by unsnapping them from the
wall, removing a screw or pop rivet from the end of the
curtain track, and sliding them out� The pop rivets are
removed by drilling through the head with a 1/8 in� drill
bit�
NOTE
All drapery materials and mattress covers must be
professionally dry-cleaned.

WARNING
Interior Aluminum Skin
Interior aluminum skin can be cleaned by washing
skin 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�
NOTE
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
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 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�
A protective pad should always be used under hot
utensils or pans�
Sinks
Cleaning can be accomplished using a mild liquid
detergent on a soft cloth� A complete homeowners'
guide for your sinks is supplied in your owner's packet�
Please read these instructions before use�
Vinyl Flooring
General Cleaning
Use a soft broom to sweep the floor. A vacuum cleaner
may damage the flooring, especially the type that use
beater bars� In most cases, a clean damp cloth or mop
will suffice to clean dirty flooring. When necessary, a
solution of mild detergent or domestic floor cleaning
emulsion can be used to clean the flooring. Do not use
a wire brush or nylon scouring pads, furniture polish,
spirit-based polish, powder or liquid abrasive cleaners,
bleach or other strong detergents� Scuffs, dirt, and
spillages should be cleaned up as soon as possible�
Rubber backing on doormats may result in yellow
discoloration of the floor immediately beneath. Choose
a natural fiber mat. Rubber feet on furniture may cause
staining� Remove them altogether or place coasters or
felt pads between them and the floor.
