WARNING

instructions on the labels of all cleaners. While
most cleaning products are safe when used
individually, certain cleaners can form hazardous
gases if mixed with other cleaning products.
NOTE: Chemicals used to clean or disinfect your IC Bus ®
vehicle can adversely affect materials used to build the
vehicle. Many common cleaning chemicals can damage
or ruin the appearance of materials like ABS plastic, vinyl,
rubber, aluminum, glass and painted surfaces.
As with
the cleaning chemicals used, the cleaning process (or the
lack of a cleaning process), can also affect the life and
appearance of the vehicle.
Chemicals used in premixed or aerosol disinfectant
solutions can damage or affect the appearance of many
interior surfaces.
The following information should be used to determine an
acceptable method to clean your vehicle while maintaining
the appearance and integrity of the components to be
cleaned.
Surface Cleaning
General Cleaning, All Surface Types
Use a soft dry cloth on hard surfaces and a whisk broom or
vacuum cleaner on flooring and upholstery to remove loose dirt
and debris. Surfaces can then be washed with a damp cloth and
a warm water and mild soap solution. Use a clear water damp
cloth rinse to remove soap residue, then wipe dry.
