INTERIOR CLEANING
DRAPERIES, CUSHIONS AND UPHOLSTERY FABRICS
The furniture and decor of your motor home uses materials and
fabrics, often synthetics, which require only the simplest care.
1. Print and Plain Fabric:
Ctean this fabric with pure solvents (petroleum distillate-
based products, Energine, Carbona, Renuzit, or similar
products may be used) in a well-ventilated room. Cleaning
by a professional furniture cleaning service only is
recommended. NOTE: Use of water-based or detergent-
based solvent cleaners may cause excessive shrinking.
Water stains may become permanent and unable to be
removed with solvent cleaning agents. Avoid products
containing Carbon Tetrachloride, which is highly toxic. To
prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming or light brushing
to remove dust and grime is recommended.
2. Vinyl:
Vinyl upholstery is made to withstand scuffing, cracking,
peeling and hard use. It will come up fresh and sparkling
after a mild soap-and-water cleaning followed by a clear
water rinse. However, certain stains, such as ink, mustard,
iodine, paint, etc.,if allowed to remain may become set and
make removal more difficult. IT IS IMPORTANT TO
REMOVE THESE STAINS IMMEDIATELY.
WINDOW COVERINGS
Curtains:
Clean this fabric with the foam only of a water-based cleaning
agent.
WALL PANELING
The paneling and the ceiling of your motor home may be any of
several finishes and textures. Never use detergents or abrasive
cleaners on walls Or ceilings. Most surfaces will clean with a soft
cloth which has been dampened with mild liquid detergent in
warm water; avoid the use of large amounts of water. Many
panel suppliers suggest that one of the spray products designed
for cleaning and preserving wood surfaces may be used in
accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
