WARNING:
If flammable solvents such as alcohol,
turpentine or varsol are used for
cleaning, use only small quantities in
well-ventilated areas. Exercise proper
caution by notifying any persons in
the area. Keep away from any ignition
source. Always wear protective gloves.
Latex Paint:
Wipe fresh paint off with a damp cloth.
Hot soapy water will normally remove
dried latex.
Oil-Base Paint:
Use turpentine in a well ventilated area
to remove any fresh paint. Dried paint
must be moistened using a semi-solid,
gel-type stripper. The softened paint can
be gently scraped away. Rinse with soap
and water.
CAUTION:
Lacquer solvent will cause immediate
irreparable damage to the vinyl. Do
not use wax on vinyl upholstery as it
will cause premature embrittlement
and cracking. Dilute chlorine bleach
before using. Never use full strength
bleach. Paint strippers will remove the
print pattern and damage the vinyl if
it comes in direct contact.
Tar or Asphalt:
Remove immediately. Prolonged contact
will result in a permanent stain. Use a cloth
lightly dampened with mineral spirits and
rub the stain gently, working from the
outer edge of the stain toward the center
to prevent spreading. Rinse with soap and
water.
Crayon, Mustard or Ketchup:
Sponge with mild soap and water. For
stubborn stains that have set, use a cloth
soaked in diluted mild detergent with
gentle rubbing. Any remaining stain
should be washed with diluted bleach.
Rinse repeatedly with cold water.
Candy, Ice Cream, Coffee, Tea, Fruit
Stains, Liquor, Wine, Tanning Lotion
or Soft Drinks:
Loose material should be gently scraped
with a dull knife. Use lukewarm water
and sponge repeatedly. Any soiled area
that remains after drying should be
gently rubbed with a cloth or dampened
with a mild detergent solution. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
Chewing Gum:
Scrape off as much gum as possible
using a dull knife. Rub the gum with
an ice cube to harden and for easier
removal. In a well ventilated area, use a
cloth saturated with mineral spirits and
gently rub the remaining gum. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
Lipstick, Grease, Oil, Make-Up or
Shoe Polish:
Apply a small amount of mineral spirits
with a cloth. Rub gently. Be careful not
to spread the stain by smearing beyond
the original source. Remove shoe polish
immediately as it contains a dye that
will cause permanent staining. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
Blood or Plant Residue:
Rub out spots using a clean cloth soaked
in cool water. For stubborn spots, use
household ammonia and rinse repeatedly
with a clean, wet cloth. Do not use hot
water or soap suds as this will set the
stain.
TIP:
Vinyl requires periodic cleaning
to maintain its appearance and to
prevent the buildup of dirt and
contaminants that may permanently
stain or reduce the life of the vinyl if
left untreated. Frequency of cleaning
and procedures used depend upon the
amount of use and the environmental
conditions in which the vinyl is
subjected.
NOTE:
Tears or holes in the vinyl can be
temporarily covered with clear tape to
prevent further damage. Repairs should
be made by a professional upholstery
shop. Commercial repair products may
contain lacquers and cause the vinyl
to become brittle and more difficult to
repair.

Cleaning Suggestions:
Follow cleaning steps in sequence. Each
subsequent step is to be used if the previous
step was not successful. Clean area with warm
water after each process.
For General Cleaning:
Wipe the soiled area with warm water, a mild
detergent soap, and a soft cotton cloth.
