Fabric/Carpet
Cleaning Fabric/Carpet
Use a vacuum cleaner often to get rid of dust and
loose dirt. Wipe vinyl, leather, plastic, and
painted surfaces with a clean, damp cloth.
Your dealer has cleaners for the cleaning of fabric
and carpet. They will clean normal spots and
stains very well.
If the vehicle has the Ultra Lux
®
suede fabric,
follow the listed procedures except do not use any
solvents or dry cleaning products.
Here are some cleaning tips:
•
Always read the instructions on the cleaner
label.
•
Clean up stains as soon as you can, before
they set.
•
Carefully scrape off any excess stain.
•
Use a clean cloth or sponge, and change to a
clean area often. A soft brush may be used if
stains are stubborn.
•
To avoid forming a ring on fabric after spot
cleaning, clean the entire area immediately
or it will set.
Most stains can be removed with club soda water.
To clean, use the following instructions:
1. For liquids: blot with a clean, soft white cloth.
For solids: remove as much as possible and
then vacuum or brush.
2. Apply club soda water to a clean, soft white
cloth. Do not over-saturate; the cloth should
not drip water.
3. Clean the entire area. Avoid getting the fabric
too wet.
4. Start cleaning from the seams into the stain to
avoid a ring effect.
5. Continue cleaning, using a clean area of the
cloth each time it becomes soiled.
6. When the stain is removed, blot the cleaned
area with another dry clean, soft white cloth.
