INTERIOR
The interior of your recreational vehicle is comprised of several different types of materials. This section is
a guide to the proper care and maintenance of the major interior components of your recreational vehicle.
COUNTERTOPS
There are two types of countertop surface materials: solid surface (i.e. Corian®) and laminant (Formica®).
Solid surface countertops and sinks:
Solid surface materials are easy to care for and if damaged, easy to repair.
✔
Soapy water or ammonia-based cleaners will remove most dirt and stains.
✔
A damp cloth followed by a dry towel will remove watermarks.
✔
Difficult stains can be removed with a soft scouring pad (i.e. green Scotch Brite® pad) and a mild
abrasive cleaner.
✔
Disinfect periodically with diluted household bleach (1 part bleach: 1 part water).
✔
For cuts and scratches, sand lightly with 220 fine grit sandpaper until cut/scratch is gone. Restore
finish with soft scouring pad and mild abrasive cleaner.
✔
Excessive and constant heat will damage the solid surface stove cover. Remove cover when oven
pilot is lit, or when the stove or oven is in use.
Urethane or Fiberglass Surfaces (Matte Finish):
✔
For normal use, simply wipe clean with soapy water and wipe dry. For stubborn stains, use a Scotch-
Brite pad and a household cleaner to maintain the matte/satin finish.
Laminant surface countertops and sinks:
✔
Clean regularly with damp cloth and mild soap detergent.
✔
Use a household cleaner/detergent and a soft bristled brush to remove stains such as coffee or tea.
✔
For persistent stains, scrub lightly with a paste of baking soda and water. Excessive or forceful
scrubbing may cause damage to material.
✔
Quick use of household bleach will work for stubborn stains.Prolonged contact, however, may cause
damage.
Helpful hints:
✔
Use cutting boards to prevent unnecessary damage to tops.
✔
Use potholders or trivets before placing hot pots and pans on countertop. Heat will damage materials.
✔
Turn cold water on when pouring hot/boiling water (solid surface sinks).
WOOD CUTTING BOARDS
✔
Warping and cracking can be prevented by "seasoning" cutting board with a vegetable oil.
• Before first use, wash board with mild detergent soap and rinse. Wipe dry. Pour a dab of vegetable
oil on a paper towel and wipe on cutting board, wipe off excess oil.
• After using cutting board, wash board and re-apply vegetable oil.
✔
Periodically disinfect by using a one-part bleach to one part water solution on board.
DOORS & CABINETS
To keep hardwood doors and cabinet fronts looking like new:
✔
Regularly dust with soft cloth.
✔
Every 90 days wipe with soft cloth and dusting spray.
✔
DO NOT
use furniture polishes that have acid in their contents (i.e. Lemon Pledge®).
Your cabinet doors, drawer fronts, cabinet fronts, and wall panels may be manufactured with simulated
wood grain materials.
