DYNASTY 2006 EXTERIOR & INTERIOR CARE — SECTION 3 • 93
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 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 for
easier removal. In a well ventilated area, use a cloth saturated with mineral spirits and gently rub the
remaining gum. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Lipstick, Grease, Oil, Make-Up or Shoe Polish:
Apply a small amount of mineral spirits with a cloth. Rub gently. Be careful not to spread the stain by
smearing beyond the original source. Remove shoe polish immediately as it contains a dye which will
cause permanent staining. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Candy, Ice Cream, Coffee, Tea, Fruit Stains, Liquor, Wine, Tanning Lotion or Soft Drinks:
Loose material should be gently scraped with a dull knife. Use lukewarm water and sponge repeatedly. Any
soiled area that remains after drying should be gently rubbed with a cloth, dampened with a mild detergent
solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Blood or Plant Residue:
Rub out spots using a clean cloth, soaked in cool water. For stubborn spots, use household ammonia and
rinse repeatedly with a clean, wet cloth. Do not use hot water or soap suds as this will set the stain.
TIP:
Vinyl requires periodic cleaning to maintain its appearance and to prevent the buildup
of dirt and contaminants that may permanently stain or reduce the life of the vinyl if left
untreated. Frequency of cleaning and procedures used depend upon the amount of use and
the environmental conditions in which the vinyl is subjected. Tears or holes in the vinyl can
be temporarily covered with clear tape to prevent further damage. Repairs should be made
by a professional upholstery shop. Commercial repair products may contain lacquers and
cause the vinyl to become brittle and more difficult to repair.
