Vinyl
Several areas of the motorhome such as the dash, ceiling and items of furniture may be covered in vinyl. The
care and cleaning of these areas are outlined in the Morbern Vinyl section below.
Morbern Vinyl:
Vinyl requires periodic cleaning to maintain its neat appearance and to prevent the buildup of dirt and
contaminants that may permanently stain and/or reduce the life of the vinyl if not removed. The frequency
of cleaning depends upon the amount of use and the environmental conditions in which the vinyl is
subjected. The procedures used for cleaning are dependent upon the end-use circumstances.
Normal Cleaning:
Most common stains can be cleaned using warm soapy water and clear water rinse. Moderate scrubbing
with a medium bristle brush will help to loosen soil from the depression of embossed surfaces. For stubborn
stains use the following commercially available mild detergents in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions: Mr. Clean or Fantastik. Full strength rubbing alcohol or mineral spirits may be tried cautiously as
a last resort on very stubborn stains if the above suggestions do not work. Indiscriminate use of any solvent, or
solvent containing cleaner, can severely damage or discolor the vinyl. Stains may become permanent if they are
not removed immediately. The following procedures are recommended for more severe stains.
