Countertops
To prevent permanent damage
 Always use hot pads or trivets under hot pans, dishes, or heat producing appli-
ances.
 Use a cutting board to prevent unnecessary damage to the countertops. Do not cut
directly on the solid surface countertop.
 Avoid harsh chemicals such as drain cleaners, oven cleaners, etc.
 Do not let cleaners with bleach set on the top. Wipe them off promptly.
For additional information on the removal of difficult stains or surface damage repair, refer
to the countertop manufacturer’s user guide.
Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with one or both of the following countertops.
Laminate countertops (if so equipped)
Glass rings, food spills, water spots and smudges usually wipe off with a damp sponge.
Stubborn stains can be removed with a general-purpose spray cleaner. Some stains can be
removed by squeezing fresh lemon juice over the stain and allowing the juice to soak for ap-
proximately forty-five minutes. After 45 minutes, sprinkle baking soda over the lemon juice
and rub with a soft cloth.
Solid surface countertops (if so equipped)
Soapy water, ammonia based cleaners (not window cleaners as they can leave a waxy build
up that may dull the surface) or commercially available solid surface cleaners will remove
most dirt and residue from all types of finishes. A damp cloth followed by a dry towel will
remove watermarks.
Difficult stains can be removed from the matte finish with a green Scotch Brite® pad and a
mild abrasive cleaner. Disinfect the surface periodically with diluted household bleach (one
part water to one part bleach).
For cuts and scratches, sand the matte finish lightly with (220) fine grit sandpaper until the
cut or scratch is gone. Restore finish with a green Scotch Brite® pad and mild abrasive
cleaner.
Run cold water when pouring hot/boiling water into the sink.
Solid surface sink maintenance
Occasionally, clean the solid surface sink by filling one-quarter full with a 50/50 water/
bleach solution. Let soak for 15 minutes, and then wash sides and bottom of sink as solu-
tion drains.
Flooring
Always test a cleaning agent in an inconspicuous area for colorfastness.
Carpet
Vacuum your carpet regularly. It is important to remove loose soil and debris while it is on
the surface. Heavily traveled areas (i.e., walkways, areas in front of the furniture) may be
protected with small throw rugs to prolong the life of the carpet.
Prompt attention to spots and spills is essential. Remove as much of the spill as possible.
Absorb wet spills as quickly as possible by blotting repeatedly with white paper or cloth
towels.
Refer to the manufacturer’s guide for detailed cleaning information, or contact a cleaning
professional.
