Interior Care
Carpeting
Vacuum the carpeting frequently
to remove dirt. Ground-in dirt will
make the carpet wear out faster.
Periodically shampoo the carpet to
keep it looking new. Use one of the
foam-type carpet cleaners on the
market. Follow the instructions
that come with the cleaner, apply-
ing it with a sponge or soft brush.
Keep the carpeting as dry as possi-
ble by not adding water to the foam.
Fabric
Vacuum dirt and dust out of the
material frequently. For general
cleaning, use a solution of mild soap
and lukewarm water, letting it air
dry. To clean off stubborn spots,
use a commercially-available fabric
cleaner. Test it on a hidden area of
the fabric first, to make sure it does
not bleach or stain the fabric.
Follow the instructions that come
with the cleaner.
Vinyl
Remove dirt and dust with a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe the vinyl
with a soft cloth dampened in a
solution of mild soap and water.
Use the same solution with a soft-
bristle brush on more difficult spots.
You can also use commercially-
available spray or foam-type vinyl
cleaners.
Leather
Vacuum dirt and dust from the
leather frequently. Pay particular
attention to the pleats and seams.
Clean the leather with a soft cloth
dampened with clear water, then
buff it with a clean, dry cloth. If
further cleaning is needed, use a
soap specifically for leather, such
as saddle soap. Apply this soap with
a damp, soft cloth. Wipe down and
buff as described above.
Seat Belts
If your seat belts get dirty, you can
use a soft brush with a mixture of
mild soap and warm water to clean
them. Do not use bleach, dye, or
cleaning solvents. They can
weaken the belt material. Let the
belts air-dry before you use the car.
