EXTERIOR & INTERIOR CARE
Ballpoint Ink:
Permanent Marker Ink spots will stain the vinyl permanently. Wipe the
stain immediately with rubbing alcohol in a well ventilated area to
remove much of the stain.
Oil-Base Paint:
Use turpentine in a well ventilated area to remove any fresh paint. Dried
paint must be moistened using a semi-solid, gel-type stripper. The
softened paint can be gently scraped away. Rinse with soap and water.
CAUTION: Lacquer solvent will cause immediate irreparable
damage to the vinyl. Do not use wax on any vinyl upholstery as it
will cause premature embrittlement and cracking. Dilute chlorine
bleach before using. Never use full strength bleach.
CAUTION: Paint strippers will remove the print pattern and
damage the vinyl if it comes in direct contact.
WARNING: If flammable solvents such as alcohol, turpentine or
varsol are used for cleaning, use only small quantities while in a
well-ventilated area. Exercise proper caution by notifying any
persons in the area. Keep away from any ignition source. Always
wear protective gloves.
Latex Paint:
Fresh paint can be wiped off with a damp cloth. Hot soapy water will
normally remove dried latex.
Tar or Asphalt:
Remove immediately. Prolonged contact will result in a permanent stain.
Use a cloth lightly dampened with mineral spirits and rub the stain
gently, working from the outer edge of the stain toward the center to
prevent spreading. Rinse with soap and water.
Crayon, Mustard or Ketchup:
Sponge with mild soap and water. For stubborn stains that may have set,
use a cloth soaked in diluted mild detergent with gentle rubbing. Any
remaining stain should be washed with diluted bleach. Rinse repeatedly
with cold water.
Chewing Gum:
Scrape off as much gum as possible using a dull knife. Rub the gum
with an ice cube to harden and make it easier to remove. In a well
ventilated area, use a cloth saturated with mineral spirits and gently rub
the remaining gum. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
