silicone oils as they may cause damage if used
over a long period of time. The finish is durable
and resistant to most household spills.
However, spills should be wiped up promptly to
avoid potential problems. Excessive
prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, high
temperatures and high humidity can cause
damage to both the finish and the wood itself.
These should be avoided.

ORDER
Please contact your RV dealer service
department for assistance in repairing décor
wall paneling. If deep scratches occur on the
wood wall panel, putty sticks can be used to
cover scratches on wood surfaces. These can
be obtained from local hardwood stores and
lumberyards. To clean, use a mild solution of
soap and lukewarm water with a soft sponge or
cloth. Wipe dry with a soft, clean cloth.

Glass rings, food spills, water spots and
smudges usually wipe off with a damp sponge.
Stubborn stains can be removed with a
general-purpose spray cleaner. Some stains
can be removed by squeezing fresh lemon
juice over the stain and allowing the juice to
soak for approximately forty-five minutes. After
45 minutes, sprinkle baking soda over the
lemon juice and rub with a soft cloth.

EILING
The padded vinyl ceiling is made from
synthetic fibers and it cleans with virtually no
damage to the color or construction itself. Most
commercially available carpet and upholstery
cleaners will do an excellent job of removing
stains (always test for color fastness in an
inconspicuous area before using any product).
From time to time, additional cleaning
methods may be needed to remove stubborn
or difficult stains.
As with any stain or contamination, a quick
response is best, especially when performed
in conjunction with the proper cleaner for the
type of stain. In some cases, repeated steps
may be required to fully extract the
contaminant or stain (some stains may need to
be removed by a professional cleaner or
service).
F
LOORING
Carpet
Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner with
a revolving brush or beater bar. Be sure the
vacuum does not have teeth, combs or rough
edges as they may damage the carpet. It is
important to remove loose soil and debris
while it is on the surface. Heavily traveled
areas (i.e., walkways, areas in front of the
furniture) may be protected with small throw
rugs to prolong the life of the carpet. Some
spills contain chemicals that will destroy carpet
fibers and dyes. Have tough and deep stains
professionally steam cleaned. For more
information, refer to the carpet manufacturer
care instructions.
