31. SOFT FURNISHINGS

Carpet

When cleaning the interior of your caravan
please remove the carpet from the vehicle.
Vacuum the carpets to take the dirt out of the
pile.
For general cleaning use a dry shampoo,
following the product's directions.
For stains, use a mixture of 1/3 bleach to
2/3 warm water. Immerse a soft cloth in the
solution until wet, then wring and squeeze the
cloth until damp. Rub the affected area until
the stain has gone.
NEVER USE DRIPPING WATER
The proportion of water to bleach
must be accurate.
Never put the carpet in a washing
machine or a tumble dryer.

Upholstery

Cleaning and Care

Remove dust on a regular basis with your
vacuum's upholstery or drape attachment. Try
to avoid brushing fabric covers because that
can damage the pile.
If you spill something on your upholstery, blot
up the excess immediately. Avoid detergents
which may damage the fabric's protection.
Use a sponge or a clean white cloth but do not
wash or rub the fabric. Leave to dry in normal
conditions. These actions will not affect the
FR (Fire Retardant) treatment of the fabric.
Heavy soiling will require professional
cleaning.
All fabrics will fade to some degree if exposed
to direct sunlight, particularly natural fibres
such as cotton etc.
Try not to leave newspapers lying on your
cushions; ink can stain the covers.
always easy to prevent that from happening;
however, proper ventilation can help.
Try to keep pets off the upholstery and be
careful of sharp objects such as belt buckles,
toys and watch straps snagging the fabric. If
snags do occur, carefully cut off the loose ends
with scissors or tuck back in–do not pull them
under any circumstances.

Winterisation and Storage

Mattresses are made from fire retardant fabric
and are a CMHR foam encapsulated sprung
unit. It is recommended that mattresses be
stored on edge during winter.
Try to keep your cushions away from direct
sunlight.

Curtains

It is recommended that the curtains in your
caravan are washed on a delicate cycle at
30°C. This will not damage the clip glides.
Shrinkage may be caused should you decide to
dry clean your curtains.
Curtains should not be left closed during
daytime otherwise some fading will occur.
