Clean laminate countertops with a damp cloth or sponge. Use a spray cleaner
to remove stubborn stains. Avoid using harsh abrasives, scouring powders,
peroxides or bleaches as these products may dull or damage the surface. Avoid
contact with dyes, bleaches, and indelible inks on food packages. Do not use laminated
countertops as a cutting board. Laminated countertops are resistant to minor heat;
however, hot pans, irons, and lighted cigarettes will damage the surface. Use hot
pads under pans taken directly from the stovetop.
Water Spots:
Any glass will develop water spots if not cleaned properly. A spotting effect is
magnified when the glass has a reflective finish. Use a squeegee immediately after
washing to reduce water spotting. To remove stubborn water stains from reflective
glass we recommend
Cerium Oxide Polishing Compound , made by C.R. Lawrence,
available at most glass shops.
Condensation is a natural phenomenon. The amount of condensation will vary
with climate conditions, particularly in relative humidity. Condensation occurs
from water vapor present in the air. Each of us add more vapors by breathing,
bathing, cooking, etc. Water vapor collects wherever there is available air space.
When the temperature reaches the dew point the water vapor in the air condenses
and changes to liquid form.
Controlling Moisture Condensation:
Reduce or eliminate interior moisture condensation during cold weather by
using the following steps:
• Partially open roof vents and windows so outside air can circulate
into the interior. Increase ventilation when large numbers of people are
in the motorhome. Even in raining or snowing conditions the air outside
may be far drier than the interior air.
• Install a dehumidifier. Continuous use of a dehumidifier is effective in
removing excess moisture from the interior air. Using a dehumidifier
is not a cure-all, however, it will reduce the need for outside ventilation.
• Run the range vent fan when cooking and the bath vent fan (or open
the bath vent) when bathing, to reduce water vapor. Avoid excessive
boiling or use of hot water as it produces steam.
• Do not heat the motorhome interior with the range or oven. Heating
with the range or oven increases the risk of toxic fumes and allows
oxygen depletion. Also, open flames add moisture to the interior air
increasing condensation.
• In very cold weather leave the cabinet and closet doors partially open.
The air flow will warm and ventilate the interior of the storage
compartments and the exterior wall surface, reducing or eliminating
condensation and preventing the possibility of ice formations.
