CLEANING CODES
The following are the cleanability code instructions for the various fabrics used in the
Airstream motorhomes:
CODE W-S
Fabric care. Spot clean this fabric either with a mild solvent or a water-based clean-
ing agent. When using a solvent or dry cleaning product, follow instructions carefully
and clean only in a well-ventilated room. Avoid any product that contains highly toxic
carbon tetrachloride. You may also use an upholstery shampoo product or the foam
from a mild detergent. With either method, pretest a small area before proceeding. Use
professional furniture cleaner when an overall soiled condition is reached.
F
CODE S
Fabric care. Spot clean, using a mild, water-free solvent or dry-cleaning product. Care-
fully follow instructions on such product. Clean only in a well-ventilated room. Avoid
any product containing carbon tetrachloride, which is highly toxic. Pretest small area
before proceeding. Use professional furniture cleaner when an overall soiled condition
is reached.
CODE W
Fabric care. Spot clean, using the foam only from a water-based cleaning agent, such
as mild detergent or non-solvent upholstery shampoo product. Apply foam with a soft
brush in a circular motion. Vacuum when dry. Pretest small area before proceeding.
Use professional furniture cleaner when an overall soiled condition is reached. The
manufacturer of the fabric designed the above code.
CAUTION
: Never remove cushion cover for separate cleaning or washing. Any
tumble cleaning method can destroy the backing, shrink or otherwise damage
upholstery.
WARNING
: Keep your furniture and family safe from fires caused by
careless smoking. Do not smoke when drowsy. Remove immediately any flowing
ash or a lighted cigarette that falls on furniture. Smoldering smoking material can
cause upholstered furniture fires.
FABRIC CLEANING
All material should be professionally dry cleaned to remove any overall soiled con-
dition. These materials may be spot cleaned, however, using the cleanability code
instructions as listed. Sample swatches are furnished to our dealers. The dealer will
be able to give you the cleaning code and part number for the fabrics used in your
particular motorhome.
FORMICA PANELS AND FURNITURE
Formica laminate is designed for beauty and durability. With minimal care it will last
for years and remain as beautiful as the day it was installed. It's very easy to clean.
Normally, a clean, damp, non-abrasive cotton cloth with a mild detergent or household
cleaner works best.
For hard to clean areas use a nylon bristled hand or vegetable brush, using a rotating
motion. Rinse with clean water, using a clean, non-abrasive cotton cloth. Do not flood
a laminate surface, especially near seams because water can penetrate and cause
the substrate to swell. Periodic application of a self-cleaning wax can help minimize
staining. For difficult stains apply a paste of baking soda and water on the area to pull
out the stain. The paste will be slightly abrasive so do not rub.
