CARE OF YOUR CARAVAN
FURNITURE
Treat your caravan furniture as you would the
furniture in your home. Polish wood surfaces
sparingly with a good quality wax or spray
polish. Use a damp cloth to clean melanate
laminated surfaces.
COOKING EQUIPMENT
Caustic pastes, abrasive cleaning powders,
coarse wire wool and hard implements will
damage the surface.
CARPETS, UPHOLSTERY AND
CURTAINS
Vacuum clean carpets and upholstery to
ensure a long life, marks on cushions should
be cleaned by a professional cleaning
company using a mild upholstery shampoo
with the minimum of water. For caravans
fitted with Aqua Clean upholstery marks can
be removed using a mild upholstery
shampoo. Curtains should be dry cleaned
only.
SHOWER TRAYS, SHOWER ROOM
AND WASH BASIN FITTINGS
Only clean your shower tray using soap and
water.
Do not use chemical based cleaning
agents as this will attack the material.
CLEANING OF ALL TAPS
It is recommended that a non-abrasive damp
cloth be used for cleaning the Elegance taps
and showers.
WATER CONTAINERS
(i) All water remaining in any water
container should be disposed of so that
the container is empty.
(ii) The outside of external water containers
should be thoroughly cleansed and
washed down to remove any dirt, dust or
other contaminant. Water at a suitably
hot temperature containing an
appropriate detergent is recommended
for this purpose. Water should then be
put into the container, swirled round,
then emptied out.
(iii) All containers should then be totally filled
with water containing an appropriate
disinfectant / sterilising solution and
allowed to stand for the recommended
contact time (e.g. Milton for 15 minutes).
(iv) The solution should be emptied from the
container.
(v) The opening of any container should be
cleaned thoroughly with an appropriate
pre-prepared wipe impregnated with a
disinfectant / sterilising solution.
(vi) External containers should be inverted
whilst stored overnight (if possible).
(vii) Containers must be filled with mains
water only and mains water only should
be used for the above cleaning
procedure.
(viii) On no account should garden hoses be
used to fill water tanks.
WARNING: Under no circumstances
should alcohol, spirit or solvent-based
liquids be used on GRP or ABS plastic
panels as these substances may react
with the material and cause visible
damage.
