General Information and Cleaning
The interior of all Airstream trailers has been designed
for comfort, convenience, durability, and appearance�
How you use it and how you take care of it, naturally,
depends on you� However, if you learn to operate
the interior components and take care of them and
the trailer properly, this knowledge will add to your
pleasure, as well as the long life of your trailer� All
material should be professionally dry cleaned to
remove any overall soiled condition�
Ultra Leather
Spot clean regularly with mild soap and water� For
stubborn stains, wipe with isopropyl (rubbing alcohol)
as soon as possible� Sanitize using a disinfectant such
as a 5:1 water/bleach solution� Air dry or dry quickly
with a hair dryer on warm setting�
NOTE
Never remove cushion covers for separate dry
cleaning or washing. Any tumble cleaning method
can destroy the backing, and/or shrink or otherwise
damage upholstery fabric.
Draperies
Remove the draperies by unsnapping them from the
wall, removing a screw or pop rivet from the end of the
curtain track, and sliding them out� The pop rivets are
removed by drilling through the head with a 1/8-in� drill
bit�
NOTE
All drapery materials and mattress covers must be
professionally dry-cleaned.
Interior Woodwork
The finish on the interior woodwork is a high quality
furniture finish and should be treated as any fine
furniture finish. Use a high quality furniture cleaner
which does NOT contain ammonia or bleach� One
good choice is Murphy Oil Soap Clean and Shine�
Counter Area
The countertops are made of Corian and can be
cleaned with soap and water, or you can use a
common solvent on tough spots� Do not use abrasive
cleaners since they could scratch the surface� A
protective pad should always be used under hot
utensils or pans� Sanding minor damaged areas can
repair Corian counters� The color of the material is
constant and not just a surface coat�
Interior Aluminum Skin
Interior aluminum skin can be cleaned by washing
skin with any mild non-abrasive soap or detergent�
Cleaning should be followed by a thorough clean water
rinse� Drying the unit with a chamois or a soft cloth
may prevent spots and streaks� Do not use abrasive
cleaners or utensils on the aluminum skin as it is
coated with a clear coat that could be damaged�
NOTE
When washing or polishing your trailer, always
wipe with the grain of the metal.
Impala Suede
Any excessive spills should be blotted up quickly after
the spill occurs� Using a clean cloth or paper towel,
wipe gently� Do not soak fabric with the cleaning
solution� Use wet wipes or a cloth dampened with
water� Gently wipe the affected area� For more
stubborn stains a solution of 95 percent water and 5
percent dish soap can be used� More persistent stains
may take a second treatment after allowing the fabric to
dry or a solution of Ninety-one percent Isopryl Alcohol�
This product is extremely durable with special stain-
resistant materials for easy soap and water clean-up�
Sinks
Cleaning can be accomplished using a mild liquid
detergent on a soft cloth� A complete home owner’s
guide for your sinks is supplied in your owner’s packet�
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 as they may scratch and dull the
surface of your 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 unit with a light application of liquid wax�
For models with Decotone wall tile installed use soft
non-abrasive detergents and nylon brushes� Stubborn
stains may require the use of hypochlorite bleach
dissolved in water� Avoid the use of strong bleachers,
organic detergents and abrasive brushes, these could
discolor and scratch the surface�
CAUTION
Applying wax to the base of the shower floor is
not recommended, as this could create an unsafe
surface.
