appearance and feel of the
vinyl/rubber and can make
the floor slippery. Your foot
could slip while operating
the vehicle, and you could
lose control, resulting in a
crash. You or others could
be injured.
Fabric/Carpet/Suede
Start by vacuuming the
surface using a soft brush
attachment. If a rotating
vacuum brush attachment is
being used, only use it on the
floor carpet. Before cleaning,
gently remove as much of the
soil as possible:
.
Gently blot liquids with a
paper towel. Continue
blotting until no more soil
can be removed.
.
For solid soils, remove as
much as possible prior to
vacuuming.
To clean:
1. Saturate a clean, lint-free
colorfast cloth with water.
Microfiber cloth is
recommended to prevent
lint transfer to the fabric
or carpet.
2. Remove excess moisture
by gently wringing until
water does not drip from
the cleaning cloth.
3. Start on the outside edge
of the soil and gently rub
toward the center. Fold
the cleaning cloth to a
clean area frequently to
prevent forcing the soil
into the fabric.
4. Continue gently rubbing
the soiled area until there
is no longer any color
transfer from the soil to
the cleaning cloth.
5. If the soil is not completely
removed, use a mild soap
solution followed only by
plain water.
