SEATS
CLEANING SOFT TRIM -A LL MODELS
Care of the upholstery is a relatively simple but im­
portant matter. Accumulation of dirt on the surface
eventually turns into a hard, gritty substance which cuts
into the surface of the upholstery.
Vinyl Coated Cloth
To clean the seats, use lukewarm, not hot or cold
water, and any mild soap, such as castile. Work up thin
suds on a piece of cheesecloth and rub upholstery briskly.
Remove suds with a damp cheesecloth, using no soap, and
finish by rubbing with a dry soft cloth. Do not use furni­
ture polishes, oils, varnishes or ammonia.
Woven Nylon Fabric
Soap and water, regardless of the basic type of soap,
is not recommended for cleaning flat cloths, particularly
broadcloths.
1. Carefully brush all loose particles of dirt and soil.
2. Immerse small cloth in volatile type cleaning solu­
tion, wring out thoroughly, open cloth and allow
medium evaporation.
Do not use too much cleaning fluid; some interior
trim assemblies are padded with rubber, and volatile
cleaners are generally solvents for rubber. The ap­
plication of too much cleaner may destroy these
rubber pads or cause the rubber itself to penetrate
the upholstery fabric and soil it.
3. Place cloth on soiled spot, do not rub, apply slight
tapping pressure, several times. This will pick up
particles which are too embedded to be removed in
the brushing operation. This operation should be
repeated several times—in each instance using a
clean area of cloth.
4. Immerse a new cloth in cleaner, wring out thoroughly,
open and allow to evaporate until barely damp. Apply
increased pressure and rub soiled area in a back­
ward and forward motion. The cleaning cloth should
be reversed several times in this operation.
5. Immerse third cloth, wring out, allow evaporation
and apply to both the soiled and the area surrounding
same, using a light, brisk motion.
6
. Repeat brushing operation.
7. If a cleaning ring should form, the entire area of the
assembly which is being cleaned should be thoroughly
brushed and gone over lightly with the solvent.
