INTERIOR (cont)
Carpet
The carpet can be cleaned with any good commercial carpet cleaner, or with a detergent and
water. HOWEVER, BE CAREFUL NOT TO SOAK THE CARPET WITH WATER.
Hardwood Flooring
Daily care for the planked hardwood floor is by vacuuming. Occasionally waxing with a non-
water base wax will help extend the life of the floor.
CAUTION
: Warn occupants of the vehicle when fresh wax has been applied, just like a
home, the floor will be slippery.
Counter areas
The counter areas around the sink are of a high-pressure laminate or Corian 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.
Sanding minor damaged areas can repair Corian counters. The color of the material is constant
and not just a surface coat.
Wall/cabinets
The vinyl walls of the motorhome can be wiped with any mild household cleaner. The wood
grain panel also has a vinyl covering for easy care. The cabinet doors and framework are
hardwood, so any good furniture polish can be used.
CAUTION
: Do not use any abrasive material on the vinyl-covered walls.
Bathroom
The counter areas around the lavatory sink are of a high-pressure laminate or Corian 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.
Sanding minor damaged areas can repair Corian counters. The color of the material is constant
and not just a surface coat.
Shower Stall
To clean your ULTRA/GLAS 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
ULTRA/GLAS 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, and
then put the soft glow back into your ULTRA/GLAS unit with a light application of liquid wax.
