Interior Care
Flooring
Always test cleaning agents for colorfastness in a hidden
or inconspicuous area.
Carpet
Clean carpet regularly using a vacuum cleaner with a revolving
brush or beater bar. Be sure the vacuum does not have teeth,
combs or rough edges as they may damage the carpet. It is
important to remove loose soil and debris while it is on the sur-
face. Heavily traveled areas (i.e., walkways, areas in front of the
furniture) may be protected with small throw rugs to prolong
the life of the carpet.
Some spills contain chemicals that will destroy carpet fibers
and dyes. If you have doubts about what caused the spot, con-
tact a professional carpet cleaner. Because of the additional
dirt typically associated with camping, we recommend that you
vacuum the carpet frequently. Have tough and deep stains pro-
fessionally steam cleaned. Use spot removers for minor spills.
Always test the carpet for color fastness in an inconspicuous
area before using any product.
Vinyl flooring
Periodically vacuum or sweep to remove dirt and gritty parti-
cles. Although most common spills will not permanently stain
the vinyl floors, they are usually easier to remove if wiped up
before they set. Simply blot with a paper towel and wipe clean
with a damp cloth. As part of a regular maintenance program,
sponge mop the entire floor. Do not use dish detergents or
vinegar and water because they will dull your floor.
To care for the vinyl floor covering, use a damp mop with water
and a mild cleaner. DO NOT SOAK THE FLOORING. Use care
to avoid wetting the carpet edges. To prevent the linoleum
from yellowing , avoid cleaners that contain oil based solvents
(i.e. cleaners containing lemon oil, Murphy’s Oil Soap, etc.).
