Interior Care
Accumulations of dirt and dust not only detract from the appearance of the interior of your Motorhome but will shorten
the life of the carpets and fabrics. Weekly cleaning and vacuuming is recommended.
Carpets
See manufacturer’s carpet care guide on how to clean soil, dirt and stains from the carpet.
Upholstery
Care should be taken when cleaning upholstery materials in your Motorhome. Do not use just any cleaner or spot
remover. Regular vacuuming and wiping with clear water will take care of most stains. Any major cleaning problems
should be undertaken by professional cleaners.
IMPORTANT
Direct sunlight will cause fading of upholstery and fabrics. To minimize the effect, close drapes, blinds and
shades whenever possible.
Spots and Stains
Most spots and stains can be removed by using clear warm water. To keep the stain from spreading, start from the
outside of the stain and work toward the center.
Stains such as lipstick, grease, ink or mustard are very hard to remove and will probably require some professional
advice or help.
Vinyl Fabrics
Vinyl should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth using a mild detergent. Never use solvents of any kind on vinyl
surfaces.
Vinyl Manufacturer’s Recommendations: To clean most common household stains use warm, soapy water and a clear
water rinse. For more stubborn stains, Fantastik™ or Mr. Clean™ diluted 3:1 with water are recommended.
Draperies, Curtains and Bedspreads
These are made from a variety of fabrics and will require the help of professional cleaners. It should be noted that most
materials will probably shrink by about five percent even when cleaned professionally.
Cabinetry
Only the finest wood products have been used in the construction of your Motorhome. To clean, use a soft cloth and a
high quality wood finish cleaning product available from your RV center.
The beauty of the wood is in the natural variations in grain and density causing some differences in color and
shading.
Walls
As a rule, walls can be cleaned easily using warm water and a mild soap. For easier cleaning of accumulated grime,
a small quantity of rubbing alcohol may be added to the water. Never use solvents or abrasives.
Tables and Countertops
The plastic laminate on work surfaces will resist solvents, stains and abrasions. A coat of furniture wax will help
preserve the beauty of laminates and make cleaning easier.
Sinks
The sinks can be cleaned with warm water and soap. Wipe dry to avoid streaks. For stubborn stains, a mild abrasive
may be necessary. Always work in the direction of the polish lines.
