AIRSTREAM INTERNATIONAL TRAILER
Carpet
The carpet can be cleaned with any good commercial carpet cleaner, or with a detergent and water. BE
CAREFUL NOT TO SOAK THE CARPET WITH WATER.
Vinyl Floor
The vinyl floor in your unit can be cleaned with liquid floor cleaning solutions recommended for vinyl
floors and warm water.
Counter Area
The counter areas around the sink are of a high-pressure laminate and can be cleaned with soap and water,
or you can use a common solvent on tough spots. Be sure no abrasive cleaner is used, as there is the
possibility it could scratch the surface. A protective pad should always be placed under hot utensils.
Sinks
Cleaning can be accomplished using mild liquid detergent with a soft cloth. A complete Home Owners
Guide for your sinks is supplied in your Owner's Folder. Please read these instructions before use.
Shower Stall
To clean your fiberglass shower stall unit use warm water and one of the stronger liquid detergents. 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 then put the soft glow back into your fiberglass unit with a light application
of liquid wax. Chips and gel-coat cracks can be repaired. Check with local repair shops or your dealer for
this service.
Dinette
The dinette is made into a bed by rising up on the front of the table and folding the table leg up against the
bottom of the leaf. As the table is raised it will unhook from the upper wall brackets. Once it is unhooked it
can be pulled out and the wall hinge will let it be lowered on the supports of the dinette seats. The backrests
of the seats are placed over the table to complete the conversion.
Metal Interior Skin
The interior shiny metal skin is the same as the exterior coated skin on your trailer. The cleaning and care
would be the same. Use common sense on the waxing and washing on the interior. A damp soft cloth will
do most of the time.
CAUTION
:
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 or wash mitts
always moving lengthwise with the trailer. NEVER rub hard on the coating. Even the softest rag will
damage the coating if excessive pressure is applied.
