Several areas of the motorhome such as the dash, ceiling and items of
furniture may be covered in vinyl. The care and cleaning of these areas are
outlined in the Morbern Vinyl section below.
Morbern Vinyl:
Vinyl requires periodic cleaning to maintain its neat appearance and to
prevent the buildup of dirt and contaminants that may permanently stain
and/or reduce the life of the vinyl if not removed. The frequency of
cleaning depends upon the amount of use and the environmental
conditions in which the vinyl is subjected. The procedures used for
cleaning are dependent upon the end-use circumstances.
Normal Cleaning:
Most common stains can be cleaned using warm soapy water and clear
water rinse. Moderate scrubbing with a medium bristle brush will help to
loosen soil from the depression of embossed surfaces. For stubborn
stains use the following commercially available mild detergents in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions: Mr. Clean or Fantastik.
Full strength rubbing alcohol or mineral spirits may be tried cautiously
as a last resort on very stubborn stains if the above suggestions do not
work. Indiscriminate use of any solvent, or solvent containing cleaner,
can severely damage or discolor the vinyl. Stains may become
permanent if they are not removed immediately. The procedure for
removal of the more severe staining agents are outlined below.
NOTE: Detergents should never be used on a regular or
repeated basis for normal cleaning.
CAUTION: Powdered cleaners containing abrasives, steel
wool and industrial strength cleaners are not recommended
for Morbern vinyl.
Bird Excreta & Vomit Stains:
Sponge the area with soapy water containing a diluted bleach until the
stain is removed. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Urine Stains:
Sponge with soapy water containing a small amount of household
ammonia. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Surface Mildew:
Wash with diluted bleach and use a soft brush for stubborn growth.
Rinse repeatedly with clear, cold water.
