the fabrics in this vehicle should be cleaned by a professional carpet and upholstery cleaner.
Spills, spots, or stains should be treated as soon as possible to
avoid permanent damage to the fabrics. If a spill occurs, blot
the fluid with a dry towel; do not rub the spill as rubbing may
cause the liquid to “set” in the fabric and cause a stain. When
attempting to clean a spot or stain, always start from the
outside and work inward to avoid spreading the stain further.
Some stains or soils are extremely difficult or impossible to be
removed completely. These stains should receive immediate,
professional attention. Spills, spots, stains, or soiled areas are
the responsibility of the owner and are not covered by Tiffin
Motorhomes Limited Warranty.
Warning
When cleaning the upholstery and fabric of the motor home, do not use lacquer
thinner, nail polish remover, laundry soaps, or bleach. Never use carbon
tetrachloride or gasoline for cleaning purposes. These substances may cause
damage to the materials being cleaned and most are highly flammable.
Walls and Ceiling
The wall and ceiling coverings should be cleaned periodically to maintain a new appearance. Use a
non-abrasive cleaner with a soft cloth on the walls. Do not use solvents of any kind, as those
solvents may damage the surfaces being so cleaned.
Dashboard
To keep the motor-home dashboard (Figure 14-16) in like-new condition, regularly follow these
guidelines:
DO:
•
Dust and clean the dashboard with a soft, damp cloth or chamois, wiping the service gently.
•
Use a mild detergent and lukewarm water.
•
After washing and rinsing the dashboard, dry it by blotting with a damp cloth or chamois.
