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.

Polishing the Flooring

Cushioned floors that have an additional protective
coating such as Beauflor Premium Protect, Multi
Protect and Ultragrip, do not normally require polish�
Other floors (Bartoli/Lioni) will require polishing to
protect the floor's surface from staining agents and
give a surface shine� For these, apply a liquid emulsion
floor polish immediately after installation and thereafter
at 6 to 12 monthly intervals as required� Always follow
the manufacturer's instructions when using a floor
polish or cleaner and ensure it is suitable for use with
cushioned vinyl flooring.

Wet Bath

To clean your fiberglass shower stall unit, use warm
water and a liquid detergent� Do not use abrasive
cleaners; they may scratch and dull the surface of your
fiberglass unit. Stubborn stains can be removed with
solvents such as turpentine, paint thinner, or acetone�
Restore dulled areas by rubbing with an automotive-
type liquid cleaner, and then put the soft glow back
into the sides of your unit with a light application of
liquid wax� DO NOT wax the shower bottom as it may
become slippery leading to a fall�
CAUTION
Applying wax to the base of the shower floor is
not recommended, as this could create an unsafe
surface.

Retractable Clothesline

A retractable clothesline and line hook is installed for
your convenience in the shower stall�

Faucets and Sinks

Lavatory Faucet

Galley Faucet and Sink

Faucet and Sink Cleaning and Care

All that is needed to clean your faucet is a soft, damp
cloth� Airstream does not recommend the use of scour
pads, cleansers, or chemicals� The abrasive nature of
these substances could damage the faucet's finish. A
non-abrasive car wax will help to protect the finish.
Cleaning the sinks 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�

Telephone Shower Head

The telephone shower head is designed to give
maximum flexibility in usage, and provides for water-
saving techniques when using your touring coach on
self-containment� It can be held in the hand and moved
about the body� Normally, the best water conservation
procedure is to wet the entire body and then turn the
water off� Apply soap, lather thoroughly, and then rinse
the soap off�
