Care and Maintenance
You can easily maintain the beauty of your
polished ceramic tile flooring with little effort, by
routinely cleaning with an everyday cleaner, such
as Aqua Mix
®
biodegradable concentrated stone
and tile cleaner.
When used regularly, this neutral cleaner
prevents soap scum and hard water deposits,
along with leaving your motorhome smelling
fresh and clean.
NOTE: Before use, test a small area according
to the application instructions. Read
entire label before using.
•
Sweep, vacuum, or dust surface.

Apply solution to surface with mop or sponge
(see Aqua Mix label for concentration to
water parts recommended).
•
Allow solution to dwell 1 to 2 minutes.

Agitate with a natural-bristle brush or white
nylon scrub pad. Do not allow solution to dry
on surface.
•
Mop up dirty solution.

BATHROOM
Toilet
For instructions on the care of your toilet, refer
to the information in your InfoCase.
Tub and Shower Walls
The tub and shower walls in the bathroom
should be cleaned with mild soap and warm
water. Do not use an abrasive cleaner on the tub
and shower walls, as scratching and discoloration
may occur. Stubborn stains may be removed with
an automotive-type cleanser.
After cleaning, you can return the soft glow to
your tub and shower walls by applying a light
application of an automotive-type wax.
Lavatory Sink
Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh
detergents, or solvents.
General Cleaning.
Rinse all food, beverage, or
cosmetic residue from the sink as soon as
possible. Some residues, if left to sit in the sink,
may require the use of detergent or a mild liquid
or gel abrasive cleaner.
Hard-to-Remove Food and Beverage
Residue.
Use an abrasive cleanser such as
Ajax
®
, Comet
®
, Bon Ami
®
or Bar Keeper's
Friend
®
to remove mild stains and for routine
cleaning. Use an abrasive pad such as Scotch-
Brite
®
to remove most of the tougher stains.
For the most stubborn stains, fill the sink
about one quarter full with a 50/50 solution of
bleach and water. After 10 or 15 minutes of
soaking, drain solution from the sink as you rinse
both sides and bottom.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or metal scouring
pads.
Mineral-Based Stains.
Cleaners designed to
remove iron or rust should not harm the sink, nor
will solvents such as denatured alcohol, mineral
spirits, or acetone.
