Fabrics
The fabrics (Figure 13-11) used in this Tiffin motor home for the bedspread
(Figure 13-12), draperies, headboard, and valances contain fire-retardant
additives that may be damaged by use of improper cleaning products.
Cleaning instructions for these items are DRY CLEAN ONLY. Water-based
products are not recommended for cleaning the fabrics in your new vehicle.
Most water-based, household-cleaning products are not formulated for use
on these fabrics and may cause excessive shrinkage or fading. For best
results, the fabrics in this vehicle should be cleaned by a professional
carpet/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.
