CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Upholstery
When cleaning upholstery, it is suggested that you use all
recommended commercial cleaning agents in an inconspicu-
ous spot to check for potential damage to the upholstery
material before applying to the entire area to be cleaned.
Day to Day soil:
Remove ordinary dirt and smudges with a mild soap and
warm water solution. Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth or towel.
For more difficult stains, use of a stronger detergent is
recommended; however, follow the detergent manufacturer’s
instructions closely.
Disinfecting Material:
In order to disinfect, use a 1:9 solution of bleach and water
(1 part bleach to 9 parts water). Wipe surface with damp
cloth then rinse with water immediately, using a damp cloth.
Special cleaning problems:
The following methods are recommended to clean stains
on PreFixx-protected vinyl upholstery. Most stains will be
removed when these cleaning agents are used in the fol-
lowing order.
Type 1 Cleaners:
Nonabrasive household cleaners to be
used with water and a soft cloth.
•

Type 2 Cleaners:
Solvent-type cleaner to be liberally
applied with a soft cloth. Dry area with another cloth, rinse

Type 3 Cleaners:
Strong, active solvent cleaners such
as nail polish remover (acetone/water) to be applied with
a soft cloth. Stain should be removed with less than six (6)
rubs; if stain persists after six rubs, contact manufacturer.
Dry area with another cloth, rinse with clean water and dry.
“CAUTION”-
These solvents are highly
flammable. Exercise proper care in cleaning
and notify personnel in area of danger. Wear
rubber gloves during all cleaning activity. Use
caution in cleaning around buttons, stitching
and wooden or other decorative trim, since
these solvents could seriously damage such
areas.
“A
TTENTION” - Ces dissolvants sont

endommager de telles zones.
Cleaning Painted Surfaces
The painted metal surfaces are covered in durable, powder-
coated paint which is resistant to scratching and scuffing.
It may be cleaned with a clean cloth dampened with mild,
soapy water or equivalent household product that uses spray
application.

recommend for our upholstery, painted items and plastic
