Laminate Floor
Laminate flooring used in the motorhome provides style, durability and ease of maintenance. This
high-pressure laminated flooring is designed to be incorporated as a floating floor.
Laminate flooring is constructed of three main material components. The surface, similar to
many countertops, contains aluminum oxide particles to form an extremely hard, durable outer layer.
The carrier, or core layer, is constructed from high density fiberboard. A tongue and groove design pro-
vides a tighter bond. The backer or bottom layer is also made of laminate for strength.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
For everyday cleaning, vacuum the floor to remove dirt and debris. It is recommended to occa-
sionally mop the floor using a cotton string mop and a minimal amount of water. Use a mixture of
soap-free household cleaner (either vinegar or ammonia work well) and water for a more thorough
cleaning.
• Wipe away stains with a damp cloth.
• Stains caused by inks or paints may require a cloth moistened with acetone (nail polish
remover).
• Stains caused by gum or tar should be allowed to harden completely, then gently scraped
away.
• Felt protectors on the bottom of furniture and floor mats can preserve the beauty and
appearance of the flooring.
CAUTION:
Abrasive cleaners and scouring pads can scratch and damage the flooring. Never wax,
sand or apply lacquer to laminate flooring.
NOTE:
Contact Wilsonart at (800) 433-3222 to address any unusual or unique problems con-
cerning the laminate flooring.
SHOWER
Showers are susceptible to soap build-up and should be cleaned weekly to ease the task. To
control mildew growth, spray the shower with household chlorine bleach. Allow it to stand for five
minutes, then rinse with clear water. Clean the glass shower doors with window cleaner on a weekly
basis to maintain shine. If water spots cannot be removed from glass, rub lightly with the flat edge of a
razor blade to remove deposits.
To prevent excessive moisture and a continual growth of mildew, use the shower only with adequate
ventilation. The sealant in a regularly used shower should be replaced once a year. To replace sealant,
remove the old sealant using a sharp non-metallic instrument. Apply a new sealant, which can be
found at most recreational vehicle supply stores.
