Wall Coverings - Monaco 2002 Diplomat Service Manual

Time is very important when removing substance from wall coverings that
are solvent based or contain color. Do not use abrasive cleaners containing
chlorine bleach or solvents. (Fidelity and Jolie brands are recommended.)
Always begin with a mild detergent or soap and warm water. To remove normal
dirt clean with a soft sponge. Rinse and wipe dry.
Care for the Satinesque Wall Covering:
Any stain should be removed as quickly as possible to minimize any reaction
between the staining agent and the wall covering. Time is very important when
removing substances that are solvent based or contain color. Examples: nail
polish, oil, shampoo, lacquer, enamel, paint, ink and lipstick.
Always begin cleaning with a mild detergent such as soap. If necessary,
move to a stronger cleaner such as household bleach, liquid household cleaners
or rubbing alcohol. Before using one of the stronger cleaners test the cleaning
agent on a small inconspicuous portion of the wallcovering to make sure that
the cleaner does not affect the color or gloss of the wall covering.
Normal dirt:
Remove normal dirt using a mild soap or detergent and warm water. Allow
it to soak for a few minutes then rub briskly with a cloth or sponge.
Nail polish, Shellac, or Lacquer:
Remove liquid using a dry cloth. Use care not to spread the stain. Quickly
clean the remaining stain with rubbing alcohol. Rinse with clean water.
Ink:
Remove immediately by wiping with a cloth dampened in rubbing
alcohol. Rinse with clean water.
Chewing gum:
Rub the gum with an ice cube to cool and harden it. Gently pull off the
bulk of the gum. Remove any remaining gum with rubbing alcohol.
Pencil:
Erase as much of the pencil mark as possible. Wipe any remaining marks
with rubbing alcohol.
Blood, Feces or Urine:
Remove these staining substances as quickly as possible. Wash the stained
area with a strong soap. If the stain does not disappear, rinse the soapy area
thoroughly with clean water. Mix a solution of 50% water and 50% house-
hold bleach. Clean the stained area with the bleach solution. Rinse with
clean water.
