ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CONTINUED
WOODWORK AND FLOORS CONTINUED
Use soap and water to clean the flooring, begin by vacuuming the floor to remove loose dust
and dirt. Then, damp mop the floor with a standard cleaning solution. The mop should be damp
but not dripping.
Feel free to use soap based cleaners, scouring powders, steel wool, abrasive cleaners, wax or
polish on the ceramic floor as this floor is impervious to these cleaning agents.
To remove stubborn spots like shoe polish, oil, tar, markers, scuffs and the like; use a
household solvent or nail polish remover on those spots then wipe those treated areas with a
damp cloth.
To remove chocolate, grease, juice or wine, use warm water and any off the shelf abrasive
cleaner. To remove candle wax or chewing gum, carefully scrape off when the material has
hardened. For further tips, please see the manufacturers information sheet in your Tiffin
Motorhomes Owner Information Package.
COUNTERTOPS
To care properly for the countertops in your motorhome, always use a heat pad or trivet to
protect the surface from hot objects that may mar or damage the countertop surface. Hot pans
and heat producing appliances (such as electric skillets), when set directly on top of the
countertop, can possibly mar the beauty and finish of the product.
Additionally, since heat producing appliances can also damage the countertop seams, it is
essential to check with Tiffin Motorhomes to identify seam locations to avoid them during
subsequent use of the motorhome.
Although solid surfacing is repaired easily, certain steps should be taken to protect it. Be sure
to use a cutting board rather than cutting an item directly on the countertop surface. Although
minor scratches and cuts can be repaired a little care will assure that the countertop surface will
keep looking new for years.
Avoid using harsh chemicals on the countertop. Wipe the countertop with a damp cloth to
remove water spots. For most dirt and stains, wipe with a damp cloth and soapy water or
ammonia based cleaners (e.g., Windex).
If a stain doesn't respond to soap and water, for a matte finish apply an abrasive cleanser and
buff it with a Scotch-Brite pad using a circular motion. Use the same technique in the case of a
cigarette burn. If the finish is a gloss finish, please contact the dealer for specific cleaning
instructions.
