I.. Permanent Change: Due to the
nature of the stain, there may be
color loss. The carpet has been
permanently dyed or the carpet yarns
have been permanently damaged.
NOTE:
While the recommended cleaning
agents have proven to be effective,
some stains may become permanent.
Laminate Floor
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.
