I. Permanent Change: Due to the nature
of the stain, there may be color loss. The
carpet has been permanently dyed or
the carpet yarns have been permanently
damaged.
NOTE
While the recommended cleaning
agents have proven to be effective,
some stains may become permanent.
Tile Floor
Tile floors vary in porosity and surface
irregularities. Regular maintenance is
important to keep the tile in the motorhome
looking showroom new. Once the slide-out
has been extended, keep the tile floor clean to
prevent dirt from scratching the tiles prior to
retracting the slide-out.
NOTE
Tile is ceramic and will chip or break.
Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects
on the tile.
Cleaning Tile:
Use a damp sponge mop or a cloth to clean
tile. If moderate staining occurs, cleaning with
a window cleaner such as Windex® should
do the job. A mild solution of hot water and
all-purpose cleaner for tile floors, walls and
countertops can also be used. Rinse well with
clear water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent
streaking. Avoid cleaning tile with soap.
Soap forms a film to dull the luster. Soap also
promotes the growth of mildew and bacteria.
DO NOT use powdered cleaners on unglazed
tile floors. Undissolved powder will dull the
surface.
