Vinyl Fabrics (including ceiling)
–If Equipped
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.
Draperies, Curtains, and
Bedspreads
These items may be woven from a variety of
fabrics. We recommend that these be
professionally dry cleaned only. A five percent
shrinkage may occur when you have these items
dry cleaned.
General Stains
As with any stain or contamination, the quick
response is the best, especially when done in
conjunction with the proper cleaner for the type
of stain.
CABINETRY – CLEANING
Wooden items may be cleaned with a soft
cloth and a good quality wood finish cleaning
product.
Vinyl simulated wood panels may be cleaned
with a mild, water-based cleaner and a soft cloth.
Do not use solvents on vinyl wood panels.
NOTE: Many cabinetry and furniture items
throughout this motorhome are
constructed either partially or
completely of real hardwoods. Because
of natural variations in woodgrain
density, slight differences in stain hue
may exist between one item and another.
This is the distinctive character and
beauty of real wood.
DECORATIVE VINYL WALL
PANELING – CLEANING
Decorative Vinyl Wall Paneling may be
cleaned with mild detergent and warm water. The
soap product should contain no abrasives, and the
use of a soft cloth or sponge with the cleaning
liquid should help preserve the finish of the vinyl.
Do not use bleach, cleaning agents with
solvents or harsh chemicals, oil based spray
cleaners, or other multipurpose cleaners such as
Fantastik
®
or Formula 409
®
as they could
damage the vinyl surface.

Care and Maintenance
You can easily maintain the beauty of your
countertop with little effort, under most
circumstances, by using warm soapy water or an
ammonia-based cleaner (not window cleaner)
then rinse and wipe dry. You can also use liquid
or gel-type cleaners containing bleach. Because
the material is nonporous, stains cannot penetrate
below the surface and will nearly always
disappear using these cleaning methods.
If a stain has dried on,
allow the cleaner or
soapy water time to soften the area, after which
the stain will wipe off.
If the stain is not water-base or oil-base
material, you may need to gently remove it using
a plastic scraper (disposable plastic knife for
example) followed by normal cleaning methods
described above.
You may want to scrub
the entire surface
periodically. Do this lightly and evenly with a
mild abrasive powdered or liquid cleaner.
Always use a cutting board
rather than
slicing foods directly on your countertop. The
underside of one of your sink covers will provide
an easily accessible cutting surface. This will
keep your countertop looking its best and
minimize care efforts. (An occasional sanding
