General Information and Cleaning
The interior of each Airstream Tommy Bahama Touring
Coach 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 touring coach properly, this
knowledge will add to your pleasure, as well as the
long life of your touring coach� All material should be
professionally dry cleaned to remove any overall soiled
condition�
Upholstery
To prevent overall soil, frequent vacuuming or light
brushing to remove dust and grime is recommended�
Spot clean by sponging briskly with a solution of natural
soap in lukewarm water� Rinse thoroughly with clean
water to remove soap and let air dry� For stubborn
stains, use fabric spot remover� Follow the directions
on the container� To clean mildew stains, prepare
a mild solution of one cup bleach and two capfuls
of natural soap per gallon of water� Spray on entire
area and allow to soak in� Sponge thoroughly with
clean water and air dray� Use a professional furniture
cleaning service when an overall soiled condition has
been reached�
NOTE
Cleaning instructions, videos, and other
information can be found in the Sunbrella app.
Search for Sunbrella in the app store to download.
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.
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�
Aluminum Interior Roof Skin
The metal interior skin on the ceiling is coated with
a baked-on acrylic coating� Use soft rags or wash
mitts always moving lengthwise with the grain of
the aluminum� NEVER rub hard on the coating� Oil,
grease, dust, and dirt may be removed by washing with
a 5 percent solution of commonly used commercial and
industrial multi-purpose detergent in water� Cleaning
should be followed by a thorough clean water rinse�
Drying the metal with a chamois or a soft cloth may
prevent spots and streaks� When washing or waxing
the metal, always wipe “with” the grain of the metal�
After cleaning and drying, a good grade of
nonabrasive automotive paste or liquid wax once a
year will increase the life of the finish and help remove
minor scratches and abrasions� It will also protect the
metal from minor scratches and make subsequent
cleaning easier�
If a substance is found on the coating that cannot be
removed by normal washing procedures, Airstream
recommends using DX 330 Acryli-Clean made by PPG
Industries� Follow all directions and Warnings on the
product container� Acryli-Clean should be used by
trained personnel only, using the proper equipment
under controlled conditions� Use the Acryli-Clean as
sparingly as possible to remove oil or grease� Rinse
with cool water immediately after use�
CAUTION
Abrasive polishes or cleaning solvents such as
automatic dishwasher or acid etch cleaners are
too strong and should never be used. Rinse all
grit from surface prior to washing. Use soft rags
always moving lengthwise with the unit. NEVER
rub with excessive pressure on the coating. Even
the softest rag will damage the coating if excessive
pressure is applied.
