INTERIOR
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.
Upholstery
All materials should be professionally dry cleaned to remove any overall soiled condition. However, these
materials may be spot cleaned using the cleaning code instructions as listed. Sample swatches are furnished
to our dealers. The dealer will be able to give you the name of the fabrics used in your particular trailer.
Each swatch will show the cleaning code in parenthesis.
The following are the cleaning code instructions for the various fabrics used in the Airstream trailers:
Code WS
Fabric Care: Spot clean this fabric either with a mild solvent or water based cleaning agent. When using a
solvent or dry cleaning product follow instructions carefully and clean only in a well-ventilated room.
Avoid any product, which 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.
Code S
Fabric Care: Spot clean, using a mild water free solvent or dry cleaning product. Carefully 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 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 dry cleaning or washing. Any tumble
cleaning method can destroy the backing, shrink or otherwise damage upholstery fabric.
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, which falls on
furniture. Smoldering smoking material can cause upholstered furniture fires.
Draperies
CAUTION: All drapery materials and mattress covers must be professionally dry-cleaned.
Unsnapping from the wall, removing a screw or pop rivet from the end of the curtain track, and sliding
them out remove draperies. The pop rivets are removed by drilling through the head with a 1/8" drill bit.
To prevent damage to the draperies while traveling, the VENETIAN TYPE BLINDS should be lowered,
secured at the bottom and the slats turned vertically.
