SECTION 11 –
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
•
Protect flooring from prolonged direct
sunlight exposure.
Treatment of Stains
Acids, alkali, alcoholic beverages, coffee, soft
drinks, ketchup, fruit, fruit juices, food,
vegetables, mustard, ink, and iodine:
•
Remove the stain with lukewarm water and a
cloth or sponge. If necessary, clean with a soft
nylon pad and non-abrasive mild detergent or
resilient floor cleaner.
Heel marks:
•
Clean as soon as possible with a soft nylon pad
and non-abrasive mild detergent or resilient
floor cleaner.
Asphalt, candle grease, chewing gum, fat, oil,
tar, and shoe polish:
•
Gently remove with a blunt instrument and
treat with a soft nylon pad and non-abrasive
floor cleaner.
Lacquer and nail polish:
•
Remove as soon as possible. Do not allow to
dry. If necessary, apply nail polish thinner
(sparingly) to remove any residue.
Corrosion, paint, and grass stains:
•
Treat as soon as possible with a soft nylon pad
and non-abrasive mild detergent or resilient
floor cleaner.
Varnish, oil paint, and solvents:
•
Blot up as soon as possible. Do not rub, as this
will only spread material further across the
surface. Carefully treat with a mild cleanser.
When dry, carefully peel the stain off.
MEK may be used sparingly, if necessary.
Rinse immediately with clean water.
Pet stains:
•
Treat with lukewarm water. If stain remains
visible, clean with a soft nylon pad and non-
abrasive resilient floor cleaner.
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
shower walls and tub, as scratching and
discoloration may occur. Stubborn stains may be
removed with an automotive-type cleanser.
Lavatory Sink
The lavatory sink is made of the same material
as the galley sink. See Galley Sink - Care and
Cleaning Instructions.
DOORS AND WINDOWS
Windows may be periodically cleaned with a
good quality glass cleaner or mild soap solution
using a soft cloth.
Use care when removing ice or frost from the
windows. Always use a plastic ice scraper, never
one made of metal. Use care when removing ice
from the mirrors to protect the reflective surfaces.
Door locks and hinges should be lubricated
periodically with powdered graphite to ensure
trouble-free operation and to protect against
freeze-up.

an extended period.
