VINYL CARE
PAGE 28
These patterns, like all upholstery fabrics
and vinyl, require a regularly scheduled
cleaning program. A thorough cleaning
should be administered on a daily, weekly or
monthly basis depending on use and expo-
sure to dirt and/or staining agents. It is im-
portant to begin treatment of a stain as soon
as possible after a spill. It is important that
efforts begin immediately after a spill to re-
move any potential staining agent. It is ad-
visable to clean these products as soon as
the first signs of dinginess occur, otherwise,
delaying clean up will require a much
greater effort to restore the product to its
original appearance.
Regular cleaning requires the use of a mild
cleaner such as Murphy
’
s Oil soap and wa-
ter. In situations where the vinyl has not
been washed regularly and there is a build
up of dirt, stronger vinyl cleaners such as
Simonize
’
s Tuff Stuff or Turtle Wax
’
s vi-
nyl/fabric cleaner are recommended. We do
not recommended the use of any other
cleaners. The use of cleaners other than
those recommended may result in irrepara-
ble damage to the product.
In order for the above listed cleaning solu-
tions to work effectively on stubborn stains,
please allow time for the cleaning solution to
soak in thoroughly. Be sure to remove the
cleaning solution before it has time to dry.
Regardless of the type of cleaner used, it is
necessary to finish up with a thorough rinse
using fresh water on a clean sponge or rag.
A soft bristled nylon or natural fiber brush
can be used to remove built-up dirt and
staining agents.
Finally, please remember that all our fabric
grain vinyls require a greater cleaning effort
to maintain than comparable smooth grain
vinyls. These products will provide an attrac-
tive and durable alternative to conventional
fabrics and vinyls if properly maintained.
One must realize that the proper installation
and use of our fabric grain vinyls require ad-
ditional attention to the establishment and
maintenance of a well thought out cleaning
program.
Do not use acetone or other harsh cleaners on the vinyl
soft headliner. Use soapy water or other mild detergent
to avoid damage to the vinyl.
FABRIC CARE
Vinyl : Clean with mild soap and water. Wipe
with vinyl or upholstery cleaner monthly, and
especially before and after storage.
Leather : Mild soap water. Blot dry. Do not
scrub as this will stretch and scratch. Wipe
with leather cleaner/oil to preserve and help
prevent cracks before and after storage.
Fabric : Blot dry. Do not machine wash. Use
only mild soap and water. Wipe with a clean
white cloth. If stain persists, dry clean. Be
sure to treat cleaned surfaces with scotch
guard. Stretched or loose covers may be
steam cleaned. If foam is removed, it will re-
stuff more easily if wrapped with thin plastic.
Storage : Cover with airflow fabric to reduce
dust build up. Do not use plastic, as this will
cause cushions to sweat and mildew.
Cushions : If wet, prop cushions vertically to
promote airflow around each cushion. Cush-
ions can be cleaned by most dry cleaners.
Dry clean only.
REPAIR OF POLTURETHANE (MINWAX) FLOORS
Surface Scratches: Sand floor with 220 grit sandpaper. Remove all dust with clean cotton cloth
or blow off with air. Apply one coat of minwax evenly over sanded floor. Let dry completely, at
least 24 hours
Deep Scratches: Remove all blemishes by sanding floor with 220, until all minwax is removed
and you have a raw floor. Remove all dust with clean cloth or blow off with air. Apply one coat
evenly over floor. Let dry four to six hours. Repeat steps one and four. Apply third coat of minwax
only if needed by repeating steps one and four.) After final coat, let floor dry completely at least
one day.
