Interior - Triple E COMMANDER Owner's Manual

14.2

INTERIOR

Accumulations of dirt and dust not only detract
from the appearance of the interior of your mo-
torhome but will shorten the life of the carpets and
fabrics. Weekly cleaning and vacuuming is recom-
mended.
1. Carpets:
See the manufacturer's carpet care guide on
how to clean soil, dirt and stains from the car-
pet.
2. Upholstery:
Care should be taken when cleaning uphol-
stery materials in your motorhome. Do not
use just any cleaner or spot remover. Regular
vacuuming and wiping with clear water will
take care of most stains. Any major cleaning
problems should be undertaken by profes-
IMPORTANT
sional cleaners.
Direct sunlight will cause fading of
upholstery and fabrics. To minimize
the effect, close drapes, blinds and
shades whenever possible.
3. Spots and Stains:
Most spots and stains can be removed by us-
ing clear warm water. To keep the stain from
spreading, start from the outside of the stain
and work toward the center.
Stains such as lipstick, grease, ink or mustard
are very hard to remove and will probable
require some professional advice or help.
4. Vinyl Fabrics:
Vinyl should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth
using a mild detergent. Never use solvents of
any kind on vinyl surfaces.
5. Velvets:
Come with fi re rating cleaning code "S". Cush-
ion covers should not be removed and dry
cleaned.
COMMANDER / EMBASSY
Use of water-based and detergent-
based solvent cleaners may cause
excessive shrinking. Water stains
may become permanent and un-
able to be removed with solvent
cleaning agents.
6. Draperies, Curtains and Bedspreads:
These are made from a variety of fabrics and
will require the help of professional cleaners. It
should be noted that some materials will prob-
ably shrink by about fi ve percent even when
cleaned professionally.
7. Cabinetry:
Only the fi nest wood products have been used
in the construction of your motorhome. To
clean, use a soft cloth and a high quality wood
fi nish cleaning product available from your
Triple E dealer or other RV centers.
The beauty of the wood is in the natural vari-
ations in grain and density causing some differ-
ences in color and shading.
8. Walls:
As a rule, walls can be cleaned easily us-
ing warm water and a mild soap. For easier
cleaning of accumulated grime, a bit of rubbing
alcohol may be added to the water. Never use
solvents or abrasives.
9. Tables and Countertops:
The plastic laminate on work surfaces will
resist solvents, stains and abrasions. To clean
use a mild soup and warm water.
10. Sink:
The acrylic sinks can be cleaned with warm
water and soap. Wipe dry to avoid streaks.
