CAUTION:
Flooring may become extremely slippery when wet. Avoid personal injury by wiping up spills and
keeping flooring dry.
Laminate Floors
Laminate flooring used in the motorhome provides style, durability and ease of maintenance. This high-pressure
laminated flooring is designed to be incorporated as a floating floor.
Laminate flooring is constructed of three main material components. The surface, similar to many countertops,
contains aluminum oxide particles to form an extremely hard, durable outer layer. The carrier, or core layer, is
constructed from high density fiberboard. A tongue and groove design provides a tighter bond. The backer or
bottom layer is also made of laminate for strength.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
For everyday cleaning, vacuum the floor to remove dirt and debris. It is recommended to occasionally mop
the floor using a cotton string mop and a minimal amount of water. Use a mixture of soap-free household cleaner
(either vinegar or ammonia work well) and water for a more thorough cleaning.
Wipe away stains with a damp cloth.
Stains caused by inks or paints may require a cloth moistened with acetone (nail polish remover).
Stains caused by gum or tar should be allowed to harden completely, then gently scraped away.
Felt protectors on the bottom of furniture and floor mats can preserve the beauty and appearance of the
flooring.
CAUTION
Abrasive cleaners and scouring pads can scratch and damage the flooring. Never wax, sand or apply
lacquer to laminate flooring.
ShoWer
Showers are susceptible to soap buildup and showers should be cleaned weekly to prevent burdensome cleanup.
Using the same solution used to clean tile floors will be sufficient for the shower. However, to control mildew
growth spray the shower with household chlorine bleach and allow it to stand for five minutes. Clean the glass
shower doors with window cleaner on a weekly basis to maintain the shine. If water spots cannot be removed
from the glass, rub lightly with the flat edge of a razor blade to remove deposits. To prevent excessive moisture
and a continual growth of mildew, use the shower only with adequate ventilation. The sealant in a regularly used
shower should be replaced once a year. To replace sealant, remove the old sealant using a sharp non-metallic
instrument. Apply a new sealant, which can be found at most motorhome supply stores.

2. Spray soiled area with a general household cleaner, such as 409 or diluted solution of a liquid citrus-
based cleaner. Follow the citrus-based cleaners recommendations for diluting. Wipe with warm water
using a soft cotton cloth.
3. Dab soiled area with solution of 50% Isopropyl Alcohol and 50% warm water using a soft cotton cloth.
4. Dab soiled area with 100% Isopropyl Alcohol using a soft cotton cloth.
After each process, clean the area with warm water.
