General Information and Cleaning

The interior of each Airstream Touring Coach 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 touring coach properly, this knowledge
will add to your pleasure, as well as the long life of your
touring coach� All material should be professionally dry
cleaned to remove any overall soiled condition�

Ultra Leather

Spot clean regularly with mild soap and water� For
stubborn stains, wipe with isopropyl (rubbing alcohol)
as soon as possible� Sanitize using a disinfectant such
as a 5:1 water/bleach solution� Air dry or dry quickly
with a hair dryer on warm setting�
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.
Wall Fabric, PermaBlok3®
PermaBlok3 is a 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
soap 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�

Cabinets and Overhead Lockers

The furniture is manufactured from a high-pressure
laminate and can be cleaned with soap and water,
or you can use a common solvent on tough spots�
Furniture polish can be used sparingly� Plexiglass
doors must be cleaned with a anti-static cleaner and
cloth� Windex or common ammonia products will
damage the coating on the surface�
NOTE
Do not use any abrasive material, abrasive
cleaners, cloths and pads as there is the possibility
they could scratch the surface. A protective pad
should always be placed under hot utensils.

Aluminum Interior Roof Skin

The metal interior skin on the ceiling is coated with
a baked-on acrylic coating� Use soft rags or wash
mitts always moving lengthwise with the grain of
the aluminum� NEVER rub hard on the coating� Oil,
grease, dust, and dirt may be removed by washing with
a 5 percent solution of commonly used commercial and
industrial multi-purpose detergent in water� Cleaning
should be followed by a thorough clean water rinse�
Drying the metal with a chamois or a soft cloth may
prevent spots and streaks� When washing or waxing
the metal, always wipe "with" the grain of the metal� A
good grade of nonabrasive automotive paste or liquid
wax once a year will increase the life of the finish.
If a substance is found on the coating that cannot be
removed by normal washing procedures, Airstream
recommends using DX 330 Acryli-Clean made by PPG
Industries� Follow all directions and Warnings on the
product container� Acryli-Clean should be used by
trained personnel only, using the proper equipment
under controlled conditions� Use the Acryli-Clean as
sparingly as possible to remove oil or grease� Rinse
with cool water immediately after use�
Abrasive polishes or cleaning solvents such as
automatic dishwasher or acid etch cleaners are
too strong and should never be used. Rinse all
grit from surface prior to washing. Use soft rags
always moving lengthwise with the unit. NEVER
rub with excessive pressure on the coating. Even
®
the softest rag will damage the coating if excessive
pressure is applied.

Counter Area

Your Airstream is equipped with Corian
which can be cleaned with common household
cleaners� For most residues use warm soapy water or
an ammonia-based household cleaner; rinse and wipe
dry� For stubborn residue spray with Deep Cleaner
from Stone Care International; wait 30 seconds
and wipe dry with a paper towel� For disinfecting
occasionally wipe the surface with a solution of 5Tbsp�
Bleach/1 gallon water mix� Rinse top thoroughly with
water and wipe dry�
