INTERIOR
Upholstery, Carpeting and Draperies
We recommend a weekly routine of vacuuming all fabrics and carpet throughout the motor home to prevent
an accumulation of dirt which can detract from the appearance and shorten the lift of carpet and fabrics.
Carpet Care & Cleaning
See the carpet manufacturer’s Carpet Care Guide in your Motor Home Operations manual binder. It includes
detailed information on cleaning soils and removing stains from the fine carpet in your coach.
Upholstery
Some fabrics used in this motor home may contain fire retardant and light fastness additives, which can be
damaged by use of improper cleaning products. Some water-base household cleaning products are not
formulated for use on fabrics and may cause excessive shrinkage or fading. Always test any cleaning product
on a hidden area of fabric before using on visible areas. For best results, fabric cleaning should be referred
to a professional carpet and upholstery cleaner.
NOTE: To minimize fading of upholstery, carpets and other interior fabrics caused by excessive sunlight, the rapes,
blinds or shades should be closed when the motor home is parked for an extended period of time.
WARNING
When cleaning upholstery and fabric, do not use lacquer thinner, nail polish remover, laundry soaps,
or bleach. Never use carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, or naphtha for any cleaning purpose. These
materials may cause damage to the material being cleaned and most are highly flammable.
Spots and Stains
Spots or stains should be treated as soon as possible before they “set in” to avoid permanent damage.
Always start from the outside of a spot or stain and work inward to avoid spreading it. Use a clean cloth or
sponge and turn frequently to an unused area of the cloth or sponge as you clean.
Some stains or soils, such as lipstick, ink, grease or mustard, are extremely difficult or impossible to remove
completely and should receive immediate attention. Consult a professional carpet and upholstery cleaner for
assistance.
Vinyl Fabrics
Vinyl should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth, and a mild detergent only. Do not use solvents. Solvents
may damage the surface of the vinyl.
