157
We recommend the following methods for cleaning:
Method A:
• Use only commercial cleaning agents that have a water basis.
• Alternatively, add two tablespoons of ammonia to 1 litre. Dip
a cloth into this solution and gently sponge the spot. Turn the
cloth over so that you are using a clean cloth to touch the spot.
This method is particularly suitable for removing:
- wine, milk, lemonade
- blood
- biro, ink
- urine, sweat
- mud
- vomit

Cleaning the interior
Rules for cleaning seat covers, upholstery covers and curtains
• Clean seat covers with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
• Have heavily soiled upholstery covers, bedspreads and curtains
dry cleaned; do notwash them yourself!
• Clean with the foam with a gentle detergent if required.
To reduce problems arising from dampness, use wa-
ter sparingly when cleaning inside.
• Always treat spots immediately.
• Sponge spots, but do not rub them.
• Work from the edge towards the middle of the spot.
• Never use household cleaners to remove spots.
• Use a vacuum cleaner on the cushions regularly to
remove any dirt that may have collected.
Method B:
• Use only mild, water-free solvents for dry cleaning.
• Dampen the cloth and proceed as described in method A.
This method is particularly suitable for removing:
- wax, candles
- pencil
Chocolate or coffee should only be washed out with lukewarm
water.
Do not use razor blades to clean the mirror or window
panes! Wipe mirrors and windows with a damp micro-
fibre cloth or leather cloth, wiping in circles. Do not use
any cleaning solutions.
